Annual Meeting
The Washington Capital Area chapter held its annual meeting on March 4, 2015. Special thanks go to the sponsors of the event: Tecolote Research, Herren, Aerospace, and Technomics. After some socializing and networking time, the chapter board provided an update of the chapter’s activities over the past year.
