Gould, WA4SXM also said this week, "Just as a reminder to all, the AMSAT Board meetings at the Symposium are an open meeting, other than a short segment that is a performance review. You can attend and listen to the entire meeting.

This year's meeting in Atlanta will begin Thursday morning 23 Oct and go into the evening (and sometimes after dinner), then resume Friday morning 24 Oct and go until around noon. The Board would welcome your interest."
