This meeting is known as the Council of Presidents. The Council agenda includes a report of accomplishment by the National President and a statement of goals by the National President‐Elect. A timely emphasis area subject is also presented by a National Committee. The Council also affords an opportunity for Section Presidents to attend a National Convention. Sections are urged to consider the importance of this program when planning the annual Section Travel Budget.
