Coordinating Committee chair sent a placeholder motion for PNB on 12-5<br />
<br />
1) Recommendation to move Houston meeting to 4th weekend in January from the 3rd weekend<br />
2) Switching Washington and LA meetings – Washington in July and LA in April to avoid going to DC in the height of the<br />
tourist season (Passover April 18-26 and Easter is April 24th)<br />
<br />
Alonzo did research and confirmed that accomodations would be cheaper in DC in July than in April. Alonzo asked to<br />
produce his research for dissemination to the PNB.<br />
<br />
Motion: In view of the difference in prices in Washington in March/April and June/July, it is moved that we reverse the<br />
order of the meetings so the PNB meets in LA in March/April and in DC in June/July. Passed without objection<br />
<br />
Agreed to push the dates for April, July and October meetings to a future PNB meeting<br />
