<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>It was brought to my attention that we want to start discussing the possibility of a conference at our November meeting.

It is already time to think about 2023. It was brought up at the 10/18 coordinating meeting that we can get a head start on the conference and avoid being told by venues that we didn't contact them soon enough to secure the date(s) we wanted. <div><br></div><div>So, we need to hear from everyone: Do we want to return to an in person conference? Is it less expensive and more sustainable to reach people with a virtual conference? Do we want a hybrid? Let's take a few comments to inform our agenda for the December meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>Second, if we are to return to an in person conference, Gina and I brought up the fact that we have two venues already thoroughly vetted from 2020, and we had a good relationship with staff to build on for 2023. Those were Whitney M. Young Magnet School and Truman Community College.</div><div><br></div><div>Let's make our December coordinating meeting the place to start actual conference planning, take a vote on what kind of conference we want, and enlist volunteers for the ad-hoc planning committee and planning meetings and a timeline. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Lorraine</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
