Site Selection for SLA Winter Meeting - January 2005

This October, the SLA Board of Directors will select the location of the January Winter Meeting for the year 2005. Like the Annual Conference, selection is based upon a set rotation schedule, staff recommendations, and member input.

The rotation schedule moves the Winter Meeting around the United States in a pattern that covers defined geographical locations: i.e., north, south, east, west, and central. Based on member input and chapter invitations, the following is a list of potential locations for the 2005 Winter Meeting:

Mobile, Alabama
Austin, Texas
Denver, Colorado

This list is based strictly on the cities' logistical ability to hold the SLA Winter Meeting. Selection criteria include, but are not limited to: chapter invitation, date availability, cost factors to both members and the association, available facilities, close proximity of and accessible transportation to both the Winter Meeting site and around the city, SLA membership concentration, location attractions, among others.

SLA would welcome opinions of its membership on the above site recommendations for the SLA Winter Meeting, January 2005. Members who wish to express their thoughts on these selected cities should write to James H. Mears, Managing Director, Conferences, SLA, 1700 18th St., NW, Washington, DC 20009.
