As Chairman of the Columbia Section of SME, I just wanted to reach out to our section members through the SME community forum and see what interest there was in using our SME community page. I have uploaded important documents to our library including our section bylaws and results of the two surveys we sent out last season.
During the off season, the officers will be working hard to make sure we have a great 2016/2017 season. If you missed the 2015/2016 season here is a recap:

I would like to thank all of our speakers and sponsors last year! If you are interested in speaking during the 2016/2017 season please let us know! We meet the third Tuesday of the month October, November and January through April at Luigi's in Downtown Spokane.
Have a great summer everyone!
