August 26, 2021

~~Convention Wrap Up with the Board of Publications: As we did last year, the BOP led a discussion summarizing our convention experiences and exploring the future. We may still be in the midst of elections, we still have an exciting final evening activity, but we’re close enough to the finish line to begin recapping and exploring our convention experience in this our second virtual convention.
