Thanks for sending this, Donna.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in Knoxville next month.

We will need to select next year's officers at the meeting as well.  If you would like to volunteer or nominate someone on the board to stand for election to be Vice President or Secretary for the coming year, please let me know in the next few weeks.

Best,

  Sandy

Greetings!

The annual meeting in September begins with a dinner meeting on Thursday September 12.  A full day of meetings on Friday September 13 will be held in our building on campus near downtown Knoxville. Friday’s meeting will begin with a continental breakfast followed by a business meeting, general meeting, student lunch, meeting with faculty, wrap-up and recommendations.  The meeting will conclude around 4 – 4:30 pm on Friday.

I’ve posted some links below to nearby hotels which generally offer special rates for those on UT business in case you want to book early for better rates/availability.  I will be sending out more specific information closer to the meeting date (Parking, directions etc.).
