BOD Meeting Schedule

BOD Meeting Schedule As a reminder, all New England Region Board of Director monthly meetings are open for any member to attend. If there is specific business a member wants to address, they can send a request to either the RE or the Assistant RE to have that item added to the agenda. But if simply interested in the workings of the club leadership, reports on what each program is planning and doing, and curious about how to get more involved in supporting the club at a region administration level, we welcome any member to join. All monthly meetings are held via Zoom, so participation can be done conveniently from home. The main BOD sessions are open to the public. Certain voting and discussions that are reserved solely to BOD members may be held offline in a closed Executive Session. 2022 NER BOD Meeting Schedule Wed, October 12 @ 7:00 pm Zoom Link Wed, November 9 @ 7:00pm Zoom Link Wed, December 14 @ 7:00pm Zoom Link
