Business Meeting 2017 Agenda
Time: Friday April 21st, 2017 at 6:15 pm in New Orleans (Bissonet).
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 final vote on bylaws changes related to splitting the position of Secretary-Treasurer into two positions and changing the name of the Student Affairs committee. See the links below for a PDF of the proposed changes.
