Our annual membership meeting is at 8 a.m. on Sunday, November 10th at Chicago Yacht Club's Monroe Station.  This year both the Great Lakes Championship and Shepherd Championship will be in Monroe Harbor, so it should make it easier for those going to Shepherd to attend the meeting.

Please email sailingmissa@gmail.com if you plan on attending and say how many people from your location we should expect. We are looking for a rough headcount, so we can provide some refreshments.

ALL are welcome to attend the meeting, but only the Primary Administrator for each active school may cast votes on any issue. If you are not sure who your Primary Administrator is, please check the Directory. If this needs to be updated, please do it before October 31, when the list of school reps will be downloaded for the meeting.  f the Primary Admin can not make the meeting, he or she may designate a proxy to cast that school's vote by filling out the proxy form and emailing it to Sharon Murphy Garber (smgarber329@gmail.com) by November 3rd.
  
If you have any specific issues or proposals that you would like to see discussed, please contact your area VP now and ask him or her to have the topic added to the agenda.  The final agenda will be sent out a week in advance. We will not have time for extensive open public comment, or lengthy debates, but several board members will be available after the meeting for a less formal and more open discussion.
