ASLE Celebrates 20th Birthday at the WLA

ASLE celebrated its 20th birthday as an organzation at the WLA conference, the place where it was born in 1992.  More than 150 people celebrated with us on November 7 at the gathering featuring appetizers, cake, ASLE memorabilia, and a welcome and induction of new honorary members by 2012 president Joni Adamson.  ASLE also helped sponsor the plenary by Annette Koldny, organized a roundtable featuring many founding members of ASLE, and organized two panels at the conference.  A few photos from the events are below:
