Annual Conference

GeoLounge is gonna happen! We will ask for reimbursement for 1 month of Pro, or I will personally foot the bill, I think it’s worth it.

More discussion in the relevant topic.

Suggestion from Britney: if we pay for a month of Pro, why not use it for other things, too? Make a recurring post on the Forum in The Commons > Off Topic ?

Action Items

  • Follow up on forum topics for the above items
  • Reach out to other committees where necessary
