Hi Folks,

A reminder we do have a meeting on Monday at 1pm Eastern. Note that I have changed the meeting logistics for the sub-committee meetings to GoToMeeting for consistency and if you want to start testing the video etc.

Thus far only one nomination has been received. I just issued a reminder to folks and will do so a couple more times next week. The election schedule is as follows:

· Oct 12:  Nominations Open

· Oct 19:  Nominations Close at 5:00pm Eastern

· Oct 26:  Nominees confirmed and statements provided (not required)

· No later than Oct 31:  Voting open for a period of one week

On Monday’s call let’s prep for the next two meetings and determine how you want to take roll call going forward.

Please note that I am traveling this coming week from Mon-Thurs am. I’ll be available on email but am not able to join either call. My colleague Megan Cannon is going to help out and join both calls. Megan is a Program Manager at Virtual and can relay notes to me from the meeting on Monday and help with the GoToMeeting on both days.

Regards,

Shannon
