Do vendors exercise too much influence over AALL?
This of course is a matter of opinion. The gifts and contributions section of our collaborative activities and joint agreements policy specifies that acceptance of donations does not provide any grant of control or influence to the donor. Our annual sponsorship brochure specifies exactly what sort of recognition vendors may receive for their contributions, and the executive director is developing some clarifications that will more clearly spell out what vendors may or may not do at sponsored events.
