2011 Meeting dates for CHNEP Committees

These dates are tentative. As meeting details, including location and agenda packets, are known, they'll be linked to each meeting date. As of May 2007 some information may also be available on the CHNEP FTP site; however, these files are not left on this site for long term.

Do you want information on meetings held in 2008, 2009 or 2010 or the dates of 2012 meetings? Meeting agenda packets are maintained on the website for up to three years.
