Every year, our chapter gathers to reflect on our work, elect new leadership, and set a new direction for our work. In order to ensure we have enough time for a thorough debrief of our work, and all chapter business, we are going to be holding two meetings in September.

Special General Meeting - To Debrief our Work
Thu. Sept 11th from 6:30-9:00PM (Potluck 6:00-6:30PM)
RSVP Here
The first will give more space than usual for committees to share what work they have been doing, and debrief how well we have accomplished the priority work we set out to do last year.  We will discuss possible directions for future priorities, and the process by which we choose priorities, but we will not select new priorities in this meeting.


Annual Chapter Convention
Thu. Sept 18th from 6:30PM-9:00PM (Potluck 6:00-6:30PM)
RSVP Here
This second meeting will function more officially as our Chapter convention, where we will debate bylaws amendments, elect new leadership, and continue the discussion begun in the first meeting.  We will set new priorities sometime after this meeting before year end.


HELP US PLAN THESE EVENTS: The Coordinating Committee is looking for members to join a local Convention Planning Committee to help shape the agendas and logistics for both of these meetings.  We'd encourage standing committees to send at least one member, and if you're interested in planning events or helping us pull off a great event, please let me know if you'd like to join the committee!  The Coordinating Committee will appoint members as they express interest. You can contact a CC member or post in #ask_coordinating if you'd like to help. We ask that all these volunteers be using our chapter Slack.
