Re: Fall Board Meeting Motions

Am I to infer then that non-internet users are to be encouraged to
participate in the Symposium however the expense associated with their
participation, i.e. printing and possibly mailing or adding extra pages to
newsletters, is being offloaded to the affiliates?  Making sure I clearly
understand is important to me because 25% of Region 16 membership fall under
the category of non-internet users.
