Mid-year House Leadership Meeting

by Sandi Barber

The mid-year meeting of the House of Delegates officers and committee chairmen will be held on February 22, 2001 in Tulsa. The meeting is being held in conjunction with and immediately in advance of a meeting of the Advisory Council and AAPG Leadership Days in order to cut down the amount of travel time required of delegate participants for two or more of these meetings.

The mid-year meeting is important to the House in preparing for the annual meeting. Any amendments proposed by the Constitution and Bylaws Committee must be confirmed legal and prepared for publication 3 months before the House annual meeting (March 5). This commences a series of deadlines for preparing delegates for the business to be conducted at the annual meeting. The mid-year House meeting allows the House leadership to discuss all critical information and take any necessary actions before these deadlines.

Minutes from this meeting will be in the next The Delegates‘ Voice, due to be mailed at the end of March and posted on the website.
