November CSHA Board Meeting
WHEN: Monday, 11/16/26 at 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: (TBD)
All Board meetings are open to any CSHA member. Please contact Board Secretary Season Burnett at least 24 hours in advance if you would like to attend a monthly Board meeting so we can be sure to include your seat in our reservation (we often meet at restaurants). Although we love spending time with our neighbors, casual drop-ins to meetings are discouraged as there may not be adequate seating, we don't want to crowd or annoy folks who may be seated near our table, & we don't want to create issues for restaurant staff who are generously hosting our meeting. Thank you for your consideration.
If you have a topic you'd like to present/discuss, let Season know at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting it can be added to the meeting's Agenda. Out of respect for everyone's time, guests' agenda items will be discussed before the usual monthly Board business, and the meeting will be run according to the Agenda with as few digressions and as efficiently as possible.
