Hello Champions Board members, I hope you are enjoying your summer. We are pleased to invite you to a special in-person National Champions Board meeting on September 30, 2018 from 6:30pm-9:00pm in Hartford, Connecticut. We are holding this meeting within the ASTC Annual Conference. You can find more information on the conference here: http://www.astc.org/conference/schedule-glance. We will be inviting several of our NGCP partners to provide information about the national work we are doing, and will look forward to learning from all of you as we discuss our successes and challenges. Dinner will be served. You do not need to register for the conference to attend our meeting. We will also be celebrating our NGCP 16th Birthday immediately prior to the meeting, co-hosting a reception with our SciGirls partners. This reception will begin at 5:30 and we hope you are able to attend. More information and an agenda on the National Champions Board meeting will be distributed on September 4.
