[Lnc-business] Fall/Winter meeting dates and location

[Brett Bittner]

Mr. Chair,

I full support visiting the Rosen Centre for our fall/winter meeting, yet I
am only available for the weekend that Vicki inquired about in her contact
with me, November 14-15. I am sure I am not alone in having plans for the
holiday weekend that follows Thanksgiving. Further, with the holiday travel
taking place at that time, airline travel will be more expensive that
weekend, and harder to attain, as we see families connecting over the
holiday feasts throughout the country.

*11/14-15*:

*Pros*:

   - The dates that Vicki confirmed for availability with the members of
   the committee
   - Already "penciled in"
   - Venue availability
   - Warmer climate for those of us "up north," less likely to have travel
   delays on the arrival end
   - NOT a highly traveled holiday weekend


*Cons*:

   - None


*11/28-29*:

*Pros*:

   - Venue availability
   - Warmer climate for those of us "up north," less likely to have travel
   delays on the arrival end

*Cons*:

   - Busiest travel time of the year, leading to higher prices and limited
   availability
   - Holiday plans
   - For me, I have international travel booked at the beginning of December

I hope this is what you were looking for.
