BOG Discusses Biennial Convention
The SEANC Scoop
November 12, 2010
During the November BOG meeting, President Charles Johnson requested discussion on the concept of converting SEANC’s convention to occur every two years instead of annually as a cost-savings measure and to more closely align SEANC with the General Assembly’s two-year cycle. In the end, the BOG voted to authorize Bylaws Committee Chairman Cliff Brown to look into the bylaws changes needed to make this conversion. Contact Brown at seanc2@nc.rr.com if you have any suggestions or questions!
