  • Selection meetings will be held by the Publications Committee and Publications Committee Chair every six months (prior to Annual Meeting in March and September).  CLARIFICATION:  Each Intent form will be considered during the selections meetings of the upcoming year.  And, it is the Publications Committee's expectation to send one or two Intent forms from each selection meeting for Board approval/denial.
