Please see the tentative schedule for the planned activities. PLEASE NOTE 1: This is our planned schedule, and is subject to change. Check the final schedule on your arrival at SAA to be sure of the plans. PLEASE NOTE 2: We only have a limited number of places available for this day-long event.

By Law Revisions
As the section leadership continues working to meet membership needs into the future, the steering committee is recommending to the membership an update of the section s governance by-laws. This change will allow for a stronger, more effective and sustainable organization moving forward. At the section meeting at SAA, the revised organizational by-laws will be presented as new business and formally offered for consideration.
Please see the draft language for the possible changes. Members are invited to offer their comment upon the draft by contacting Tony Jahn or other section leadership.
