September Meeting Agenda
We note that we will start the Zoom sign-in at 6:30pm. Our guest speaker will start at 6:35pm.
Following the presentation by our guest speaker, we will have our Philadelphia ASA Board meeting.
We have allocated roughly 45-60 minutes for the special guest presentation and Q&A and 30 minutes for our board meeting. Board meetings are open to all ASA members and candidates and are a good way to learn about chapter activities and build relationships.
