The SLATE Summit is our annual planning meeting and the last meeting before the SLATE Conference in October. This gives us an opportunity to finalize any activities for the conference, discuss and exchange ideas for next year's meetings, and define goals and strategic initiatives for the group. I hope you will plan on joining us to set the agenda for this meeting and also help set the direction of SLATE over the coming year. If you have topics you would like to discuss please forward them on to me. I will also be asking for hosting institutions for next year's monthly meetings so if that is a possibility for you please let me know.
This events also provides some time to relax and connect with friends before we get too far into the upcoming school year. After the meeting, a fabulous Amish meal is planned from 5:00pm - 7:00pm which includes a traditional Amish buggy ride, followed by a visit to the Michiana Relief Sale from 7:00pm - 9:30pm. For those who choose to stay the night in Goshen, join us on Saturday morning, September 24 for breakfast from 8:30am - 9:30am at the Goshen Farmers Market. Registration is required and needs to be made by clicking on the link below.
You have plenty of time to make your plans but you must register by Wednesday, September 14 so that Goshen College can prepare for our visit and all activities are properly planned. Please note, spouses, significant others, friends, and family members are invited to partake in the meal and any/all other activities. So why not make a weekend of it. Additional information and helpful links are shown below. If you have any further questions please let me know. Look forward to seeing you there.
