Meeting Details:

Dr. Cynthia Tsao of LCI will help facilitate this meeting. Although this meeting is free for all attendees, please register for this event through this Eventbrite webpage so we can prepare for the meeting accordingly.

After the Meeting:

We will arrange an Organization Meeting for people who want to volunteer to help manage and administrate the LCI Carolinas Chapter. During that meeting, LCI will provide an outline of chapter responsibilities, and attendees will sort out who will become Core Group Members, Committee Chairs, and Committee Members to manage those responsibilities. Then, the newly formed Core Group will use the deliverables from this Formation Meeting as a starting point for organizing LCI Carolinas’ activities and events.
