Council Meetings

The business of TSOP's governing Council is conducted primarily at the Incoming Council and Outgoing Council meetings (held during the Annual Meeting) and at a mid-year teleconference (usually in March).

Committees provide their reports to Council in writing in advance of these meetings.
