Meeting Requirements:
This group requires two face to face meetings each year, a kickoff meeting on Wednesday, October 23, 2019, from 9:30 am-1: 00 pm following the Associations@Work Conference on October 21-22, 2019 and a Spring Meeting in 2020 in Washington, DC. The date of this meeting will be determined by the group at its October meeting. New appointees to the council are required to attend the in-person kick-off meeting for the group on Wednesday, October 23, 2019, at ASAE Headquarter offices, 1575 I Street NW, Washington, DC. (The second face-to-face meeting is typically one day in length in Washington, DC. Council members are expected to attend these meetings at their own expense.)
