The meeting will be condensed from its original form and will be scheduled over lunch each day similar to the virtual spring meeting. The meeting will include technical presentations, an award ceremony, and a business meeting. PDH certificates will be provided. Meeting registration will be free. We will be accepting online donations for the scholarship fund since we will be unable to host the scholarship auction this year.
