BOD Meeting

The board of directors met every Wednesday at 7:30pm each year to prepare and plan for the Sacramento Hmong new Years. We meet in this 20x30 room on the 2nd story of a business complex at the corner of Fruitridge and 24th Avenue. Meetings are known to carry until 11:00pm. Each night there is a "President's First Five" where individuals get an opportunity to present something to the board members.

Secretary Chue Hang starting the meeting agenda. One of the most detail and demanding position as he collects data and handles all information between departments. He can be seen carrying his projector around every night to the meeting. Cheng Kue seeing crunching numbers in the left back. Not pictured, Fong Cha taking pictures.
