Dear Booksellers,

I wanted to take a moment today to introduce you all to the incredible team of individuals here at ABA. I am grateful every day to be working alongside them (or over Zoom, as the case may be) for the good of the cause. Every one of them is passionate about your bookstores and dedicated to working hard on your behalf. 

The workload at ABA is intense right now and there are not enough hours in the day, but I’ve heard many of them say on more than one occasion, “There’s nothing I would rather be doing right now.” We all believe in you, and your bookstores. 

So, thank you, to all of you for the opportunity to do meaningful work, and a HUGE thank you to Team ABA: Daniel, Ana, Ryan, Jess, Sydney, Joy, Jennifer, Dan, Jill, Matt, Pete, Molly, Lisa, Courtney, Dave, Gen, PK, Kate, Maria, Geetha, Greg, Stephany, Scott, Lauren, Alison, Chanthee, Emily, Annemarie, Linda, Melissa, Josh, Phil, and Matt S. for all that you do.
