Business Meeting 2016 Agenda
Time: Friday April 15th, 2016 at 5:45 pm in Atlanta.
All members are invited to join us for the presentation of lifetime achievement and student awards and for the discussion of association business. In an effort to be more eco-friendly, we will be posting information about the business meeting here as it becomes available. This year we will be discussing and taking a preliminary vote on bylaws changes related to splitting the position of Secretary-Treasurer into two positions and changing the name of the Student Affairs committee.
