Greetings and Happy 2019 to 
YALC Division Members

Hello to all and welcome to the first 2019 YALC newsletter.  My name is Perri Leviss and I am the chair of the YALC Division.  I am planning to send out the DivisionÕs newsletters, but if there is anyone else who is interested in doing this, I am happy to share this task.  This issue of the newsletter will be quick and have some information about this summerÕs annual meeting in NYC and other conferences that people may be interested in.  I am planning to keep this same format for future newsletters so that if people have contributions to make to these standard sections, you can email me whenever you think of it.  Just as e reminder, the YALC Division also has a Facebook page that I am hoping to update more regularly, but this is also a place for all members to highlight their work or other opportunities that they come across.  I look forward to meeting you in NYC. Thanks and happy start of the spring semester.
Best Wishes,
Perri Leviss
