Annual Meeting Support Request from Parent Society<\/u><\/p>\n

Issue<\/em>:\u00a0 FITS has been asked to provide support for the AFS Annual Meeting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Discussion<\/em> : The discussion focused on the fact that FITS will be providing travel support to people to participate in sponsored-symposia and FITS meeting and therefore will be defacto supporting the meeting through their attendance. Therefore, the sentiment was to decline the parent society offer to be a direct financial contributor to the annual meeting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FITS Symposium Update<\/u><\/p>\n

Still rounding out the agenda; abstracts are due March 17th<\/sup>. Jeff will send out the symposium description again. Loftus volunteered to provide a presentation if needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elections<\/u><\/p>\n

Rebecca has been looking for candidates for office. Has one in mind but will ramp up her efforts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FITS goals <\/u><\/p>\n
