News From The Task Force
Updated February 19, 2012
VOTE POSTPONED.
Additional details need to be finalized before House Corporation meeting can be scheduled.
Additional details need to be finalized before House Corporation meeting can be scheduled.
The Task Force committee has decided to postpone the previously scheduled February 26th, House Corporation vote as the committee has been unable to finalize some outstanding items. The project is moving forward albeit more slowly than anticipated. The committee feels it would be in the best interest of the membership to have as many of the unresolved items confirmed so members can be fully informed prior to the vote.
We apologize for the delay on the vote. We will schedule a new date for the House Corporation vote after the committee feels we are satisfactorily close to a complete resolution of all issues.
If you have any further questions regarding the floor plans or negotiations with Simpson, please submit your questions via the FAQ's section on this website or contact a member of the Task Force Committee.
This is truly an exciting time for our chapter and we thank you for your patience as we wrap up our discussions with Simpson regarding the house plans and outstanding contractual items.
We'll send out an email announcement with information about the meeting date, time and location.
