Reflections from BALIF's Founding Members

In 2020, BALIF turns 40! In honor of the anniversary, the BALIF Programs Committee created this video featuring the reflections of BALIF's founding members. Featured in the video are several of BALIF's organizing committee, members of the first board (1980-82), and general members who joined within the first year. The video is directed by Programs Chair, Ari Jones, and filmed and edited by Adam Weiss.

Thank you to the many people who made this video possible!
