| President Somerford and Committee Chairs | Jan 30, 2019 |
Club Assembly
From Roby Somerford: On Wednesday, January 30, 2019 we will have our first quarterly Club assembly. I would like for each of you to give an update on your committee, i.e. timelines, revenue, metrics, etc. I ask that you be concise as you will only have 3-4 minutes at most, to speak. We have a lot of information to going over. What you have to say is very important to the members of the club and we want to be transparent on all things. PowerPoint presentations are not necessary. Questions will be asked after all presentations are made.
