Each year at the Annual Meeting AERA acknowledges those members who have died in the previous year. One form of acknowledgement is the scroll of deceased members shown at the Annual Awards Luncheon. Another is the recognition provided at business meetings of the individual SIGs and Divisions. In addition, a number of sessions included in the program are designed to commemorate the work of deceased scholars.
This year there are six commemorative sessions planned for the Annual Meeting. Full details are available in the online program.
