I agree! She seems like a great pick. Are we inviting her to give a keynote virtually or in person? Perhaps we can give her both options. Do we fund anything besides the workshop registration fees?
I think it's up to the ACL Workshop Chairs to decide which conferences will be virtual-only and which will be hybrid, so we need to word the invitations accordingly. I imagine that among us we'll be able to scrounge up enough funds to register our invited speakers for virtual attendance, but covering in-person registration and travel/accommodation expenses is probably out of our reach unless we get sponsorship. (And we should probably apply for such sponsorship as soon as we get an acceptance notification, or even now!)
See my recent e-mail to Ryan North's agent for sample wording that reflects the circumstances summarized above.
