SASS Meetings & Community Events
Monthly Meetings will run September through May with the exception of December and they are typically the second Tuesday of the month at 7 pm at Seaparc in the Boardroom.
The meetings will have two key components: one is a special topic, which may result in a guest speaker and the other is a round-table discussion of what matters most to participating SASS members. These discussions will help define our future special topics and guest speakers.
