Chapter Meetings
The Chapter will host lunch-and-learn style meetings on the third Thursday of March (Alabama), June (Louisiana), and September (Mississippi). All meetings will be conducted from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm (Central). Lunch will be provided for a nominal fee. Speakers will be solicited, mainly from our regional membership, and encouraged to provide a presentation that is approximately 45 minutes in length. Specific hosting locations are still TBD, but the specific dates/times are provided below. Note that we will likely identify at least two desirable presentations for each meeting in order to accommodate cancellations.
