As our Task Forces continue their work to develop recommendations for discussion at the Annual Business Meeting, we have been exploring mechanisms for addressing a broader range of issues raised in the context of the Open Letter. For example, we are concerned about power differentials and variations in generational perspectives that have come to the fore, and what the LSA might do to address those issues. To that end, the LSA hosted a virtual Community Dialogue event on October 26th, so that the elected officers of the LSA had the opportunity to listen and respond to your questions and concerns. The event featured responses both to questions and comments submitted in advance and to real-time queries from event participants. The live Q&A portion was be co-moderated by Executive Committee member Chris Kennedy and David Robinson, Director of Membership and Meetings.
