have decided that the meeting will be virtual. We are still aiming for our mid- to late-January timeframe, as usual. We are considering our options and reviewing past meeting evaluations to meet the membership’s desires and needs.

fatigue as much as possible, while still catering to our memberships needs/ideas. Please help us by taking a
<b><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CD2Q3MP">quick 6-question survey</a></b> about the structure of this year’s meeting. You will also have the chance to submit talks you’d like to present or topics you’d like to hear more about.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
