Annual Business Meeting
Atlanta, GA 
7:00PM to 8:30 PM 
Hanover E 
Saturday
April 5th, 2008

Before I list the agenda for the business meeting, let me tell
you about some exciting news. This year, the TLC is teaming up
with the larger SEAC (Southeast Asian Studies Council) to put
on a reception in honor of the Kahin Prize. That reception
begins at 8:30 immediately after a shortened TLC business
meeting. All are invited to this reception. There will be
members of Burma Studies, Vietnam Studies,
Malaysia/Singapore/Brunei Studies, Philippines Studies there.
At the reception SEAC will announce the launch of the Kahin
Prize (more information and formal invitation to come later).
The reception is from 8:30-10pm on Saturday April 5 in the
Grand  Hall Pre-function area.  There will be snacks and a
bar. A good time for conversation and fun after a long day of
panels. 

TLC Business MEETING AGENDA (7:00-8:30)
