  • Related to last issue, lawyers have informed us previously that we need to switch Ishmael's name out as being the official state contact of record for the space. Do we want to name the law firm as our official contact instead to ensure we don't have to keep changing it.
  • Our law firm is hosting a free seminar on being a member of a board of directors and official responsibilities. Would anyone be interested in going?
