MAS March Monthly Meeting (Annual Budget Business Meeting) – Featured Speakers: Valts Treibergs & Ahmed Reda

The MAS will be hosting a hybrid in-person & ZOOM Monthly Meeting.  MAS meetings are free and open to the public. JOIN US!

This will be a MAS Business meeting and we will be reviewing and voting on the 2025 Budget. A 10% Quorum of total members (or a minimum 50 members)  is required.

Registration will be required in advance if participating on Zoom.  After registering with your name and email address, you will be emailed the Zoom link to join the meeting.  Non MAS members will also need to register to participate in the meeting, but will not be allowed to vote.

The proposed budget will be made available to MAS members in advance on Slack: https://mnastro.slack.com/archives/C08FC2RPUNS . Members can comment and ask questions.  Members who are not part of the Slack community can join by sending an email to slack@mnastro.org.  Copies of the budget can also be requested via email to president@mnastro.org.

This meeting will be held online using Zoom  – but will require pre-registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/1Z6nrbltSgKIezqO96VtFw

The Zoom join link will then be emailed to you.

You can probably hear best with a headset but your computer’s speaker and microphone will also work.

In order to ensure the most success we are asking everyone to follow a couple of rules:

• Don’t turn on your camera – it sucks up bandwidth and we really don’t need to see you.
• Keep your microphone muted until you are prompted during a question and answer session during the presentation. This will cut down background noise substantially.
• You can request to ask a question in the chat area of the Meet and wait to be prompted by the moderator.

We hope you can join us.
Clear skies!
