July Meeting
In Lieu of a Traditional Meeting We Have Something Special Planned:
"SMPTE Leadership... Not Just a Job, It's an Adventure!"
(To borrow a phrase from the Military)
A Look at How SMPTE Operates, How it is Organized, Who Does What, and What Holds Everything Together.
This is a condensed version of the Leadership Training SMPTE HQ provided at the Fall Conference in Brooklyn.
While targeted primarily at Atlanta Section Officers, we encourage all members to attend this unique event,
Particularly if you would like to run for office in the future. Also, you are encouraged to attend the Managers'
Meeting immediately after. Your meeting suggestions will be appreciated.
Please note the unusual time.
