 Structure, Purpose and the Frequency of Meetings ◦ Since the occurrence of the previous Clubs’ Forum meeting, I have been meeting with/surveying Club Presidents in order to come to a decision in relation to the Structure, Purpose, and Frequency of such meetings.  Initial Thoughts  Forum should have a roundtable, open style, format.  General topics of discussion should be selected for such meetings through consultation with Club Presidents.
