Program

A stellar program for this year's Annual General Meeting!

It's an excellent time for remembrance, reflection, planning and activity as the AGM lands not just in the anniversary year of the 1906 fire and earthquake, but the anniversary month: it's less than two weeks after the very day of the quake, which occurred on April 18, 1906. We have a number of sessions on topics both historically relevant as well as timely.

Download the program (.pdf, 15p.) to view the full session descriptions and schedule.
