The AAEA Health & Wellbeing Task Force is excited to introduce several new activities for this year’s annual meeting in New Orleans:

Quiet Room: A dedicated room will be available throughout the annual meetings for those seeking a quiet space to recharge. This space will also serve as an interfaith/prayer room. Resources for breathing and meditation will be available. The room will be available Sunday to Tuesday in Studio 6 from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Morning Walk &Talk: If you want to get moving, get some fresh air, and meet new people, join us for a morning Walk & Talk on Sunday and Tuesday mornings. We will meet across from Galerie 1, alongside the windows. The walks will start at 7:00 am and take a 1-1.5 mile route toward and around Woldenberg Park. The group will return to the hotel no later than 8:00 am. Contacts: Nilufer Cetik (ncetik@asu.edu) & Elena Krasovskaia (ek558@cornell.edu)

Good Morning Yoga: Start your day with some mindfulness and gentle movement on Monday morning from 6:30 - 7:15 am in Studio 6. This class is suitable for all levels, including those who have never practiced yoga before. No yoga mat is required. Please sign up here. Contact: Kelly Grogan (kellyagrogan@ufl.edu)

Organized Symposium: Strategies for Health & Wellbeing in Agricultural Economics
We will discuss the stressors and anxieties that AAEA members face, share techniques to alleviate mental and physical challenges related to work activities, and gather information on how AAEA can support member needs related to mental health and wellbeing. The session will include interactive activities and a panel of AAEA members with varied backgrounds and experiences. The panel takes place Monday from 2:45 - 4:15 PM in Studio 9.
