DLC members are expected to: Attend 75% of meetings and events scheduled every month for two hours; Prepare for meetings by reviewing the agenda and supporting materials prior to meetings; Participate in meetings by asking questions, taking responsibility, and following through on assignments The nomination period closes Friday, May 31, 2019.
