Tell us what's happening in your lives: What are you reading? What projects have you started (or been forced to abandon?) What's on your media diet? What has the pandemic forced you to change for the better? We'd love to see your smiling faces! CONFERENCE 2020 IMTAL at 30: Pandemic, Protests, and Possibilities 73 of you took the time to join us on one or both days, and your enthusiasm and energy was evident across multiple time zones and zoom screens! Thank you to Catherine Hughes for her powerful keynote, to Jo Clyne and IMTAL Asia-Pacific, to Angela Pfenninger and IMTAL Europe, to Paul Taylor and David Henry Wrigley and Tesla’s Dream, to George Buss and Mason Absher and The Bob Ross Experience, to those of you who stayed up late, and those who got up early, to our members and friends who listened, to those who spoke out and spoke up, and to those of you who shared your frustrations and your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your strengths, your stories, and your passions. We didn’t solve all the world’s problems. We didn’t dismantle systemic racism. We didn’t put a dent in economic imbalances, we didn’t untangle the webs of social injustice, and we didn’t smash the patriarchy. But we did identify more of the tools we need to take on those jobs, we did find common ground, more members of our tribe, more souls dedicated to art and education and truth; and above all, we connected with, and were inspired by friends. Not too bad for a few hours, really. Next year - Athens! New Board of Directors! IMTAL welcomes two new board members appointed as a result of our recent elections. Fiona Meagher Caryn M.
