The 2010 NSC Town Hall Meeting will take place on Monday, August 9, 2010 from 8:30–10:30 P.M. Although we welcome inquiries throughout the year, this is a good opportunity to talk about NASPA in a public forum.

• Chris Cree: Executive Committee, Championship Committee
• John Chew: Executive Committee, Championship Committee, Web Committee, and barring last minute attendance changes Technology Committee
• Mary Rhoades: Championship Committee, Club Committee

As stated, our time is limited and we want to ensure that everyone is heard from, please note that we will have a maximum three-minute microphone time. If you have a complicated question to ask, please come prepared to phrase it as concisely as you can.

Minutes for the Town Hall Meeting will be posted here after the event. In the meantime, here are opening remarks from the committee representatives involved.
