The board of directors are meeting the first week of December on the UW campus for the annual retreat. As fall begins the board is busy planning the year of programming.

Fall marks a time for planning and is a time for the earth’s autumnal equinox.

Autumnal equinox is when the earth experiences nearly equal day and night, marking the official beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

This astronomical event occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator, and for those in the Northern Hemisphere, days become shorter and cooler.

We know the equinox is also associated with cultural celebrations, like harvest festivals, and increased activity all over the world.

The board is meeting on the campus of University of Washington to complete the 2026 strategic plan and committee goals.

The retreat and strategic sessions is designed to deliver high impact programming and education for the neurological community.
