Each year, our AGM offers a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy each other\u2019s company as we look back on everything that ELAN has accomplished in the past year, while also casting a glance towards everything we have planned between now and next spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that sounds like a good time to you, you can join us in person by <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc4gnZ1MozQgzhWwePP8zj69K2Zre_UHmzcrjAbcv-2LIQnUQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RSVPing in advance<\/a>.
