Section Meetings

NOTE: The COVID-19 pandemic has required a lot of changes.

Pre-pandemic, we always tried to get together once a month, during the months of September through May, and usually took a break in the summer. We provided a mix of dinner meetings and site visits/tours throughout the year. We also attempted to hold a community outreach activity at least once each year (e.g., hands-on, volunteer activity at a local organization).

Dinner meetings were held on the second Tuesday or Wednesday of the month, depending on speaker availability. We were meeting at the Atomic Bowl Event Center in Richland, Washington. Site visits were held at the host sites.

Because of the pandemic, state mandates, and our ongoing concern for the safety of our members, we do not have any in-person meetings planned for the foreseeable future.

Instead, we encourage members to participate in virtual meetings, webinars and other events being offered by other sections in our region. We publicize these events on our website and in our monthly newsletters
