Sidney suggested that YAC members did not know what Fedex Time or Strategic planning were and that the agenda was too packed.
The sign up and explanation will come at the next meeting, but it was necessary to get the date and time to allow students to check family schedules for Saturday.  Conflicts already with sports and ACT's.
