>convention on Zoom again this year instead of 
>gathering at a physical space. Because of the 
>capabilities of this system, however, we will 
>still be able to have both our business meeting as well as break-out sessions.
>
>Our agenda will include holding our annual 
>election of delegates to our National 
>Convention, calling for pledges to the tenBroek 
>Fund, and planning for future conventions and 
>meetings. There will be other interesting 
>activities and surprises as well that you won't 
>want to miss, so stay tuned for the full agenda.
