In the final business meeting of our 2020 meeting in Atlanta, GA, we will be discussing and voting on two proposed changes to our constitution and bylaws. These changes involve the addition of an Early Career Professional (ECP) Representative to the Executive Committee, and the outlining of objectives and operational procedures for the ECP Standing Committee.  These will require a positive vote of at least 2/3 at the business meeting. Please review these proposed changes in advance of the meeting so that we can act on these proposals at the meeting.
