[nabs-l] brainstorming meeting about potential young professionals group

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello All,

If some people end up meeting together at national convention to discuss the 
possibilities of creating a young professionals group, would someone be 
willing to report what happened for those of us who are not able to make it 
to national convention this year? I would be interested in such a group, but 
I am not able to attend national convention this year. It would be nice to 
hear what came out of such a meeting even though I will not be there.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
