The Fall Meeting started with the Annual ASM Business Meeting. Instead of having chapter reports during the business meeting, chapters were requested to bring a display highlighting their activities. Six Chapters--Charles, Central, Northern Chesapeake, Mid-Potomac, Western, and Monacacy-- brought displays. They were all different, and all were interesting
At any ASM Meeting it's always fun to catch up with others from around the state and hear what they are doing. But the highlight of the meetings are the talks.
