It was recommended to our Board of Directors at the July 21, 2011 meeting that the date of the annual meeting be changed from November 17, 2011 to April 28, 2012. The Board of Directors voted to approve the change. The rationale for the change is as follows:
This date change would align us more effectively with GSUSA during the Triennium year. The change would allow for the inclusion of Volunteer Recognitions at the Annual Meeting. We often hear volunteers are concerned about the number of miles driven to attend multiple meetings/events. This would combine two major council events reducing the number of miles driven as well as council costs. By combining the Annual Meeting and Volunteer Recognitions, we may increase attendance for the Annual Meeting.
