The Eighteenth Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois, February 19–20, 1937. It was the largest meeting in the history of our organization, 836 registered and more than a thousand were in attendance. The Board of Directors met in two sessions and conducted the necessary business for the ensuing year. A trip was made to the Adler Planetarium and a lecture in the Planetarium was enjoyed on the subject, “The Determination of Time and Place.” At 8:00 p.m. the first General Meeting was called to order by President Martha Hildebrandt in the Grand Ball Room of the Palmer House. The Address of Welcome was made by James E. McDade, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, Illinois, and the response by Mrs. Florence Brooks Miller, First Vice-President, Shaker Heights, Ohio. Secretary Schreiber made the opening announcements. Professor Albert A. Bennett of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island addressed the group on the topic “Mathematics and Life.” This was followed by a series of projects in high school mathematics reported by some twenty high school students from Hyde Park High School, Chicago, Illinois, under the direction of Miss Beulah I. Shoesmith. This feature of the program was much appreciated by the audience of some seven hundred teachers.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, a Toronto HIV/AIDS service organisation (HASO) held an event called “Family of HIV” at its annual general meeting in 2017. A drag queen’s performance of the popular gay anthem “We Are Family” and a statement of “love” for the organisation from two clients followed regular annual meeting items like the auditor’s report and election of board directors. These actions created a complex affective and bureaucratic arrangement for an organisation formed through grassroots activism by and for a historically marginalised group (gay men infected with HIV), but that now serves a diverse group of HIV-positive people and is funded through state and private sectors, and is thus enmeshed in a set of obligations and responsibilities to various scales of stakeholders, including local, provincial and national health and welfare agencies. This article argues that the performance of family at the annual meeting privileges a particular affective arrangement of relationships between full-time staff, clients and volunteers that, not coincidentally, occurs in a bureaucratic culture emphasising data as a measurement of value and efficiency. This results in a closely surveilled form of family produced through dense personal and bureaucratic entanglements of regulation, alienation, care, conflict and anxiety.

Abstract The Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education began as the Ad Hoc Committee on the Development of Gerontology Resources in 1972. The next year the name Association for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) was selected. In 1974 AGHE held a general meeting of its membership in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America in Portland Oregon. The first annual meeting was held in 1975 in Madison, Wisconsin. The relationship with GSA has evolved over the last four decades leading to the present Academy. The first presentation will focus on the issues of gerontology and higher education that emerged in the early years and continue to be a challenge today. The second presentation will look at the future of AGHE in its new relationship with GSA. The third presentation will focus on the Academy in the present discussing current challenges facing academic gerontology in today’s world including the development of AGHE’s basic-competency guidelines and the emergence of measuring student learning outcomes and their role in program review and evaluation. The fourth presentation will examine the evolving discussion of standards in evaluating gerontological and geriatric programming. Geriatric Education Interest Group Sponsored Symposium.

OFTEN officers or members of the Board are asked questions concerning the Academy meetings. This letter is written to answer these questions. The Academy now holds one areal meeting and one general meeting a year. For a time an attempt was made to have two areal meetings a year. Since it is difficult to interest commercial firms in that many meetings, it resulted in a deficit, which the Board felt we could not afford. Occasionally now the areal meetings do lose money, but the Board has felt that one such meeting is indispensable. The annual meeting results in a profit. The areal meeting this year is in Cincinnati; the annual meeting will be in Toronto. Next year the areal meeting will be in Washington, and the annual meeting in Chicago. The Board has debated whether to hold most, if not all, the general meetings in Chicago. There are three advantages in this: it is centrally located, facilities are available, and the central office is located there. They would like your opinion as to the wisdom of doing this. Each year the areal meeting is held in a different part of the country and its program is arranged completely by the men in the locality in which it is held. It has speakers, symposia, and panels; and most often they are outstanding. Sometimes comparisons are made between the excellence of the areal meeting and the annual meeting. They are not really comparable, for their composition is significantly different. When it was first held, the composition of the annual general meeting was like the areal meeting, except that the annual business meeting was held at this session.
