Dear Board and SET Members:
Your President authorized the addition of a back-to-back emergency closed item, i.e., MAY 3114 Claim of Brar. This resulted in revising the agendas for both the Board and Bd. Ops.
Also, the Task Force on Sections changed its meeting room from 8B to Sections' Conference Room; the schedule was revised to reflect this minor change.
(The times listed below are guidelines. The President reserves the right to adjust this schedule.)
