We have added this up-to-date information for those who will be attending the 2008 Annual General Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.  Even if you are not attending the conference, you may be interested to see what the Division Officers have planned.  In addition to the symposia and poster sessions, the Public Health Division (Y) will hold the annual business meeting and a social "mixer" with many other ASM Divisions is planned.  Watch this page and subscribe to the Division Y list serv for up-to-the-minute updates.  If you have other questions about the meeting schedule or wish to build an itinerary for the meeting over the web, check the ASM national site here.   See you in Boston!
