If he didn't oversee speakers, or, know what was on the program, what would there be for the president to do? ;) As it stands now, there is input from within the membership, providing recommendations for certain speakers. Occasionally those who recommend, will themselves volunteer to make contact with the speaker, and by coordinating this with the president, arrange it. But, as is sometimes the case, speakers don't show, and so we may be left to entertain ourselves. What we need then would be an entertainment committee. Someone who can jump in at the last moment, with either an accordion or bazooka, and make it all better. ;) And no, I don't know what's on the agenda for tonight, but it could be entertaining... ;) Seriously though, I will bring it up at tonights board meeting. Quoting Richard Tenney <retenney@yahoo.com>:
Spectacular launch, a lot of fun with all the extra cameras on board this time. I nearly missed it, heading off to work. Glad I had the radio on, and promptly turned the car around to make it back in the house at T-minus-10 seconds! Very cool.
As to SLAS, I'd like to recommend a committee (the existing board perhaps?) that oversees speakers, so it's not the job of the president (alone) to assign speakers or to know exclusively what's on the program. Assuming I don't show tonight, would someone in SLAS please bring this up for discussion tonight?

SLAS meeting tonight. Sorry but I don't know the topic.
Better still, NASA TV reports that all is still a "go" for today's launch. 8:39 is awfully early for me to be getting up but I really want to see that sucker go!
Chuck, Guy, Kurt, how many match heads to launch the shuttle? :-)
