Chairs Comment
I am trying to organize an online meeting with sub-commission members, However, after repeated efforts, I have yet to receive confirmation from any members. I also tried to create a single document of the Lighting Design Sub-commission’s member profiles and their headshots, so far I have only received 3 members. I am requesting to members and Headquarters that they expedite the submission of their headshots and profiles as this document is highly valuable for us concerning us negotiating with host institutions.
In the mailing list of members, there are quite a few emails that are bouncing back I am requesting headquarters to correct those or send new ones.
