HSA General Meeting Thursday at 6:30 PM
|
|
Dear Lafayette Community:
|
We hope you will be able to attend the HSA General Meeting this Thursday, February 8. In addition to the important budget discussion you have already heard about, the Board will also present important reforms to the HSA’s financial practices for review and approval. These proposed changes to our by-laws and operating procedures are critical to safeguard HSA resources and protect our community from future fraud. We look forward to a robust discussion on both topics and look forward to your participation.
|
The meeting will start at 6:30 and babysitting will be available. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions or feedback in advance.
