2011 Joint Meeting
Ellie Lathrop, John Gross and Eric Wisch are members of a joint PDX/Longview committee that is working to plan the 2011 OR/WA joint annual meeting. We are still looking for Longview Chapter volunteers to fill several committee positions. A venue has been selected and a theme has been chosen.
An alternative chapter program process was discussed among the attendees.
