The AMLC Board meets each year in person to address AMLC organizational issues, to update Board members on each other’s institution’s activities, and to plan AMLC actions for the next year. In non-scientific meeting years, the Board meeting is hosted by an Institutional Member at the host institution’s facilities or at a nearby venue. Below is a list of recent board meetings and locations.
