Good morning all,

Hope you had a great weekend full of sunshine - I went to the Khatsalano street party and had a very good time  and only got a little sunburnt!

I am delighted to be the Chair for the coming term ahead and am looking forward to working together again soon enough! I am unfortunately away for the September meeting (on holiday in Greece, so not too unfortunate!) but Amanda has very graciously agreed to
 chair the meeting in my absence. 

For new/returning members, the standing meeting date is the second Monday of each month from 13:00-14:00 PST, with meetings running from September-June. Where this date falls on a holiday, the meeting will be scheduled for the third Monday of the month (with
 some exceptions!).  

Please review the dates for the September 2024-June 2025 period and reach out if you see any major issues. UCW does not have an institutional Zoom account and because I didn’t receive any objections to using Teams for our meetings, that’s the platform we will
 use!  If we run into issues with this, I’ll be sure to adjust!  

Once the dates are confirmed, I will send calendar invites for each meeting. 

Proposed schedule: 

September 9
October 15 (adjusted for Thanksgiving and Open Access Week)

Note: since Open Access week is the week of October 21st/the third Monday, the suggestion and precedent has been to hold the meeting on the Tuesday (at the same time) after the Thanksgiving holiday instead.

November 18 (November 11th is Remembrance Day)
December 9
January 13
February 10
March 10
April 14
May 12
June 9

Lots of holidays are equally early and late this year, so happily there are not too many conflicts!

Let me know if you have any questions, concerns or see any issues!  Thanks all in advance, stay cool, and have a great week ahead! 

Best,

Liz
