AAUP Presidential Addresses

The AAUP presidency is a one-year term, but a three-year service committment. At each AAUP annual meeting, the membership appoints a President-elect, a current President takes the seat, and the Past President steps back. All three work together with the AAUP board, staff, and committees over the following year to carry out the strategic goals and constant mission of the Association and its membership. Annual meeting luncheon addresses are an opportunity for both the new and the outgoing presidents to share their goals for and perspectives on their terms, special projects, and the broader issues facing scholarly communications. The archive of talks here include both history and inspiration for the Association in years forward.
