Hello Everyone,

Happy Friday! We are less than one month away from our annual NC 1186 meeting in Cincinnati, OH. I've heard from a few members, but please let me know if you plan to attend in-person, Zoom, or not at all so I can finalize the schedule. I've included a tentative schedule below.

With the exception of Ohio, Tennessee, and Georgia, each presenter will have 15 minutes total, including Q&A. Timing will be strictly enforced. I've tried to accommodate everyone's preferred times. If your time doesn't work for you, please let me know as soon as possible so I can find an alternative time. If your presentation mode has changed, please also let me know.

By September 6, 2023, each presenter will need to upload their PowerPoint or PDF file to this Google Drive folder<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s2kfGdQ4619DhGOOQSBJLNzpI4j8CMMx?usp=sharing>. Please rename your file in the format of [no._experimental station_last name]. Example: 1_Ohio_Owen. I will have the capability of uploading your presentation via USB drive the morning of the meeting.

Please feel free to share the meeting info with anyone who might be interested in joining as new members. I look forward to seeing you at our meeting!
