[IAEP] [SLOBS] Call to action for inactive SLOBs - attend the meetings or resign your seats

[Claudia Urrea]

I agree with you! It is important to get together during established
meetings, but it is as important to engage in concrete
tasks/responsibilities. I also agree that we should all inform the rest of
the board if we will be absent.

My suggestion is to revisit the schedule during our next board meeting.

Warm regards,

Claudia
