SeaSPIN - Important Meeting

Important Notice on the Future of SeaSPIN

(This meeting moved to ONLINE ONLY due to health concerns)

Participation and interest in SeaSPIN has dropped off significantly in the last few years. Current leadership has invited others to fill positions in the organization, with no takers.

Apparently, the time has come when SeaSPIN is no longer relevant to the intended community, and there is no funding to continue.

Per 'Section XII-Dissolution of Organization' of the SeaSPIN Charter (http://www.seaspin.org/s/Charter.doc), dissolution has been unanimously agreed upon by the officers. The next step is to hold a meeting of participants to obtain a majority vote.

Presuming no one takes on leadership in the group, the web site will be removed in 2020 and the materials archived. Please contact SeaSPIN leadership (seaspin@dsbarnes.com) if you have any questions.
