Jim, the bylaws set Hartford
as the default location for both the Annual Meeting and the Second Meeting.
Either meeting can be moved by Board action as described in the
bylaws.

From a Pacific Northwest perspective, I favor
a location a bit closer such as Dallas, Phoenix, or a warmer (read not much
snow) spot. I understand the issues surrounding staff travel but what
staff do we really need in attendance? One trip to
HQ per year is enough for me! It is a full day of travel to the east coast
and, given planning, the air fare can be pretty reasonable to other
places.
However, isn't there a rule that says the business
meeting needs to be in the Hartford area?

Subject: [arrl-odv:13138] January
Meeting
It is time to consider the location of the January board meeting.
For the last two years we have not been fortunate from the weather standpoint.
Last January 21 of us were stranded for an extra day due to the airport being
closed. I have not discussed this with Barry Shelley, but a guess would be
that the cost was in the area of an extra 5K.
I know that many of you like to harass the staff, but another location that is not so prone to
snow and cold weather (Dallas) might be something you want to consider.
What are your thoughts?
