 We're always looking for a good Noon Speaker.
Got a good presentation? Maybe you just attended a great talk or lecture. We'd like to hear from you! Please contact any of our officers or MGS committee chairmen and tell us more about it. The Society is always looking for good Speakers to give technical presentations at its Monthly Noon Luncheons. In most instances, we can help defray some or all of the travel costs incurred in coming to Jackson for the presentation. Thanks!
