Co- Chair: This month I have been acting as webmaster for the BC. I attended the Group Communications Committee meeting.  I reviewed the Bidding Requirements and sent an email to all the committee chairs and officers regarding progress on the same.  We appear to be right on track.  According to the Procedures Manual, the Co- Chair’s duties include helping wherever needed.  To that end, in the email I also invited such committee chairs and officers to contact me if they need any assistance in fulfilling their duties/responsibilities.  Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
