LMAG 1Q13 Report Prepared by: Marty Izaak R1 LMAG Coordinator

Greetings to all Please excuse my absence to day due to previous commitments I’m glad to report that LMAG in R1 Sections is vibrant and active. I received six responses from R1 LMAG Section Chairs out of eleven requested. This is a great improvement over last year. You will note from the summary below that LMAG activities by the reporting Sections a great deal of effort in organizing interesting presentations and forums for networking.
