I think meeting in the exhibit area would be a challenge -- too many
simulteneous conversations. Plus, it wouldn't really solve Greg's problem
since he's likely to be talking with customers during meeting time. I think
we just need to be sensitive to this in the future, both at AHG and CSUN. If
this year's meeting lasts until 8pm as Ron predicts, Greg will still be able
to take in most of the meeting.

Hi Greg,
This is an excellent point and we will make sure to schedule better in the
future. As the incoming Secretary (running unopposed) one of my objectives
for the coming year is to work with the conference sites to do a better job
of scheduling business meetings. We want more vendors to be part of this
organization and we must keep their logistical needs in mind.
However, one of the nice benefits of the AHG conference is the small size
that allows anyone to connect with anyone else (such as vendors with ATHEN
members) in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere.
At present we have a time for the ATHEN meeting (6:00 pm on Thursday) but no
location. This may be short notice, but how would the membership feel about
the meeting taking place in the exhibit area? Or would the vendors prefer
this not happen?
Howard - is this possible? Can we get chairs and a screen/projector?

If I look at the current list, you are probably our only "vendor" member but
some may say that I am a vendor as well. You make a good point and this is
a challenge every year, perhaps we want to look at a dinner meeting in the
future. But there are other groups in eh exhibit hall as well that may
like to attend the meeting

Hi Everyone,
One thing that would be nice to consider is the meeting time for ATHEN at
AHG in light of any vendors that might want to attend the meeting. The
Exhibit Hall does not close until 6:30 on Thursday and the ATHEN meeting is
scheduled for 6:00. I am not sure how many vendors are members of ATHEN (I
am) and want to attend the meeting - I might be the only one.
In reality, I and other vendors are usually still busy after 6:30 following
up with people, so I don't know how feasible it is to simply move the start
time of the meeting. We might still be meeting with people well after 6:30.
Perhaps at the meeting this year we could talk about possible solutions to
this? Again, I'm not sure how many vendors are actually members of ATHEN,
so this might be a fairly minor point.
Thanks for your consideration.
Greg

Howard,
I am confidant I can speak for the organization on this question. The ATHEN
meetings at conferences have always been open to all conference attendees.
We actively encourage non-members to learn about the organization and see
how they can be part of who we are and what we do. However, only members
with up to date enrollment (dues paid) can vote on business matters.
I know the meeting is at the usual time (6:00 PM on Thursday) but where is
it (meeting room)?

Ron, et al,
I assume you want the ATHEN meeting publicized to the whole conference,
correct. I.e. this is not restricted to ATHEN members. I wanted to check
before I post it on the conference page. Is there a blurb you want me to
post about the meeting?
Thanks,
Howard

My guess is that they will both be on the agenda for years to come :)
