ANNUAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE: COUNCIL OF READERS 

Inaugurated in 2019, the Council of Readers serves a crucial role in the Annual Conference review process. The Council of Readers is a group of CAA members from the general membership, Professional Committees, and Affiliated Societies, overseen by the Annual Conference Committee (ACC) and Program Chair. See list of current readers below the application link.  

Hundreds of proposals are submitted for review each year for selection to the conference program. Each proposal is read by three Council members. By providing their time, knowledge, and expertise of their fields, the Council helps to shape the conference program. 

Each member of the Council reviews 60-70 proposals, dependent on the number of submissions received, submitted by CAA members per year. CAA uses Council members’ self-identified scholarly focus to ensure that specialized abstracts are read by at least one Council member with knowledge of that topic. Most proposals include one 250-word abstract, while complete session submissions can include 4-5 abstracts (1250 words). Each reader receives a similar amount of content. Readers serve for three years, with new members accepted each winter, and the term begins in February. Review of Annual Conference proposals is overseen by the ACC and occurs in May.  

The Annual Conference Committee and Program Chair then shape the conference content based on the reviews given by the Council.
