GEAPS Meetings
Tuesday, February 26, 3:15 – 3:45 pm
The annual meeting of GEAPS membership is the place to catch up on every facet of the association. GEAPS 2007-2008 international president Mike Myrick will detail the accomplishments over the past year, as well as chart a path into the future.
Most Exchange attendees are GEAPS members, so don’t miss this chance to participate in this meeting of your fellow GEAPerS. Mr. Myrick will outline many of the ambitious programs GEAPS is actively involved in or just embarking upon. There are opportunities for GEAPS members at every level.
The general session presentation will take place immediately following the annual meeting in the same room.
This is your chance to get involved!
Almost all of the various groups that govern or oversee the many GEAPS programs and services will meet at some point during the Exchange. All of these meetings are open to all GEAPS members. If you’re not already participating as a leader in the organization, come and see for yourself what it takes to step up and make a difference. GEAPS is only as successful as its volunteer leadership.
The following meetings will be held at Exchange 2008. All of the meetings are open to members and Exchange delegates.
