From the President's Desk

February 2026

CALLeagues,

In hopes of encouraging the many of you who have recently suffered through a brutal spell of winter weather, allow me to help you think ahead to the warmer days of spring by reminding you that you can now register for 2026 Conference in Moncton, and the program will soon be available thanks to the hard work of our Conference Planning Committee co-chairs Michèle Leblanc and Laura Corscadden, with the support of the subcommittee chairs, our VP2 Pia Williams, and our National Office Event Manager Yuna Le Berre (not to mention all of you who took the time to respond to the call for proposals).

Future trip planning aside, if you still find yourselves in the winter blues, perhaps some retail therapy will help, and to this end, allow me to recommend looking into the variety of discounts and perks available on a multitude of retailers through Perkopolis, a discounts, rewards and benefits program used by thousands of organizations throughout the country – now including CALL/ACBD! This is an opt-in program available to our new and renewed members, so renew your membership today and follow the instructions below to register for your perks.

Keep calm, my CALLeagues, as spring is around the corner!
