The conference aims to promote reflection on how much progress we have made in 36 years and on new understandings related to sustainable consumption. The aim of the discussions is to identify gaps, define mechanisms to speed up progress, and map out institutional partnerships necessary for a fair transition.

The conference will provide an opportunity for professionals from a variety of sustainability-related roles at SUNY colleges and beyond to connect and learn from one another.

The Biennial Association Meeting is the formal business meeting of the AAUP. Under the AAUP Constitution, it is held in even-numbered years except when prevented by war or national emergency. The meeting is attended by delegates elected by chapters and sections. AAUP members who are not delegates may attend the meeting but do not have a vote or a formal role in the meeting. The purposes of the meeting are established by the AAUP Constitution and include electing AAUP officers and Council members, voting on amendments to the Constitution, expressing the AAUP’s views on professional matters, voting on proposals and resolutions, and acting on recommendations presented to it by Council.
