One year ago, we gathered for our 2023 annual meeting.
Happy June, NorCal alums! The end of our club fiscal year means it’s time for our Annual Meeting. We had a great time in 2023 as we had not met in person since 2019. We look forward to you joining us on June 8, 2024 in Downtown Oakland. Event details are included below.
