Budget and Agenda Discussions

We're coming up on the November meeting (Nov 4 - put it on your calendar!). The agenda for that meeting will be posted soon, but will certainly involve refinement of the budget plan. If you have other items that you'd like to see on the agenda, or ideas about the budget plan, please email me at jmckanna@bme.ogi.edu. Thanks!

Next Meeting: Nov 4, 5:15pm!
