Committee reports

Conferences/Events/Chapters activities report (Powers)

LOPSA Cascadia 2017: March 10,11. Contract cutoff:(?) (Kacoroski,Uphill,Globermann,English,Powers)

• We will be choosing the presenters this week.
• Ski is a bit concerned because we have no presenters on Microsoft topics and those classes usually seem to do well.
• Once presenters are confirmed, schedule will be posted

LOPSA East 2017 (Boris)

• John had a major health issue. Is going to LOPSA-NJ meeting - if enough people show up and are interested, he will hand off, and hopefully we can run for a single day.

Marketing/Communications (LOPSAgram, #lopsa-live, etc) (English, Uphill)

• LOPSAgram most likely out next Monday, delayed due to Paul's travel schedule

Leadership Committee (Warner, Kacoroski)

Warner is looking for potential board members.

Locals (?)

• Silicon Mechanics will no longer be sponsoring SASAG, after the March meeting (which is attached to CASIT). A new sponsor would be good.
