Collaboration with DC EAPA Chapter Summary
A planning meeting was held with some of the DC EAPA Chapter officers. We decided collectively to pool our resources, related to programming. To that end, the Chesapeake Chapter will move its monthly meetings to the third Thursday of each month. We will alternate program responsibility. We believe that this will benefit both Chapters, in terms of attendance, continued program quality and networking.
