[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Conference Planning Committee for 2015 Conference

[Kathy Lussier]

Sorry - I just want to add one point of clarification. The new  standing 
planning committee will not supersede the programming committee that has 
traditionally handled programming.
The programming committee has always had a small core group of people 
who have served from year to year and may not be interested in other 
aspects of planning.

This standing committee will help out with other aspects of conference 
planning.

Have a nice weekend!
