Upcoming Ottawa Chapter Meetings:
All meetings are held from 7 pm to 9 pm. Locations to be determined.
The Ottawa Chapter meets 5 times a year, typically in September, November, January, April and June (subject to change). Our June session usually includes a reflection on the year and then in either in June or September, we select topics and hosts for the next season of gatherings.
