October 24 marked the end of the ALA 69th Congress, which, for the first time in history, was held virtually.<\/p>\n

The second day started with an interesting discussion about R\u012bga. Think tank\u00a0Certus<\/em> board director, University of Latvia associated professor Daunis Auers presented his research, entitled “R\u012bgaX”. The participants had a lot of questions about researchers’ vision of R\u012bga’s development.<\/p>\n

As ALA President P\u0113teris Blumbergs had reported on the first day of the Congress, the organization’s financial situation is very good, we have been able to support many important activities this year – support during the pandemic to U.S. Latvian schools, camps, and a matching initiative to U.S. Latvians’ donations for buying computers for children in Latvia. The Congress approved the budget for 2020.<\/p>\n

There were many interesting reports from our partners, World Federation of Free Latvians, the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, and Latvian National Opera Guild.<\/p>\n

The Congress approved many resolutions, which will be published later on our website.<\/p>\n

This week, the newly elected board will start working. Photographs of several of the newly elected board members follow (not pictured – Dzintars Dzilna, Di\u0101na Abuls-K\u0101rkli\u0146a, M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Jansons.)<\/p>\n

We thank former board members L\u012bga Ejupe, Anita N\u0101gele, Sanita \u0160\u016bmane, and Gundega Dance for their hard work!<\/p>\n
