Dear AGA Cleveland Members,

Welcome to another AGA Cleveland program year! We are happy you have chosen to be one of our members and are committed to providing you another great year. I wanted to let you know about some of our upcoming plans, introduce you to the chapter leadership, and invite you to get more involved with our chapter.

Included in the chapter’s upcoming plans are:
 

• The AGA PDI is in Boston from July 9-12th. If any AGA Cleveland members are planning to attend, please let us know and we will look to meet up during the conference.
• August 12, 2017, 1 PM. We are tentatively planning to have our joint AGA/ASMC summer picnic at the NASA picnic grounds. More details to follow.
• August 17, 2017: 11:30 – 2 PM. Our chapter will have a booth at the Cleveland Federal Building Diversity Fair outside of the Anthony J. Celebreeze Federal Building in downtown Cleveland. We will represent AGA and hope to recruit some new members. Please feel free to stop by and say hello.
• The annual AGA/ASMC PDI will be held once again in Cleveland in the April 2018 timeframe. More details to follow. Help is needed and much appreciated.
• We are planning to send a brief survey to get your ideas on the types of events and locations that would be of interest to you. Expect an email in the upcoming weeks.
• Our goal is to increase the number of training, community service, and social events for this upcoming program year. Please let me know if you are interested in helping with any part of the chapter’s event planning.
