President’s Welcome

December 2024

Dear NJABA Members,

We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates about our upcoming 20th Annual Conference! In addition to welcoming Dr. Matthew Brodhead as our pre-conference workshop presenter and Dr. John Borrero as the opening keynote speaker, we’re delighted to announce something special for this milestone year: Dr. Bridget Taylor has graciously agreed to deliver an invited address!

This is shaping up to be an unforgettable event, and we can’t wait to see you there. A reminder that this year’s conference will be hybrid, allowing you to attend virtually if you can’t join us in person.

The call for papers is now open—we encourage you to submit your work and be part of the program. Visit Call for Papers to submit your proposal today!
