Our courses should be scheduled out at least a year in advance.  Just a few weeks in advance is not enough time--especially when we are planning multi-thousand dollar events.  When events are on the calendar and in the newsletter for several months, we will have better publicity, better attendance, more vitality and a better presence.

Scott Tracy is the Pres Elect and will set up a way to invite the U students to AGD events and be a student chapter.

The national meeting-- David Peterson was the Delegate.  2017 will be the last combined governance and scientific meeting.  JC wants to step down as the RD and have a replacement.
