About ABA

We are now opening nominations for four open spots on ABA’s Booksellers Advisory Council, which serves as a sounding board and advisory council on issues facing the bookselling community and ABA.

As ABA readies itself for its first in-person meeting since January 2020, safety is top of mind. Not only in terms of the ongoing pandemic, but how to also provide a safe environment for all attendees and those with whom we share a space. ABA’s Values include being socially responsible. And, as we’ve seen during the past couple of years, our actions — and lack of action — can make a difference.

ABA is excited to introduce Sara Lacey, Executive Assistant, who joined us in July 2021.

ABA is excited to introduce Daron Mueller, one of our eCommerce Customer Support Specialists, who joined us in June 2021.

Nominations are now open to fill two spots on ABA’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, which serves as a sounding board and advisory council on issues related to antiracism, equity, access, and representation facing the bookselling community and ABA.

Currently, Elisa is working on an ABA project focused on better serving bilingual and Spanish language stores, which includes compiling necessary resources and information.

"After almost two years of questions and Groundhog’s Day for many of us, in terms of circumstances or uncertainty or both, it seems we’ve finally moved forward. Welcome to the future! It looks a lot like the past," said ABA CEO Allison Hill.
