Could AALL still hold the Annual Meeting if we didnt take any vendor support?
AALL could choose to stop taking vendor donations for the Annual Meeting, but obviously this would require significantly higher costs for dues and/or registration fees, and some events would have to be canceled or require additional charges to members. There could also be an impact on chapter programs. If the national organization declined to accept donations, vendors might not feel obligated to provide them to chapters either, or alternatively, the chapters might face increased pressure from vendors looking for ways to get their marketing messages across to law librarians.
