Board of Directors Meeting

The Winter Board of Directors meeting will once again be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 7 & 8 at the Drury Inn & Suites. The Budget and Operations meeting will begin at 3:00 PM on Friday, March 6, and the Board will be in a caucus that evening. Both of those meetings are only open to invited guests.
The regular, open session of the BOD meeting begins at 9:00 AM on Saturday, March 7. Because the agenda is not yet finalized, there's no way to tell if the meeting will continue on Sunday morning. All members are invited to attend the open sessions.
If you have any questions or comments about items that should be included on the agenda, please contact your District Director. Contact information can be found in NMRA Magazine or at https://www.nmra.org/about/national-organization .
