September 13th Board Meeting and GA Rescheduling Updates

Ahoy Pirates, On August 16th we had our first board meeting since the intended summer General Assembly (GA) failed to reach quorum. Proposals were discussed about rescheduling the GA. It was voted on that we would delay the meeting until the winter, as this is still within the timeframe required by our statute of at least 1 GA per year.
