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.  See the links below for a PDF of the proposed changes.

Uncorrected proofs of the minutes of the St. Louis Meeting can also be read at the link below.
