Midway through 2017, the Electronic Unit of NAP (eNAP) changed from bimonthly meetings to monthly. Meetings are normally online at the Slashnet.org IRC channel #enap at 8:00 p.m. U.S. Central Time on the second Monday of each month. We cancelled the 9/2017 meeting and held a social instead on 9/10 in Lombard, IL at the NAP NTC.

 

The officers for the term starting February 2017 were President Todd Crowder, PRP; Vice-President David Mezzera, PRP; and Secretary Paul McClintock, PRP, CP-T.

 

The officers for 2018 are President Paul McClintock, PRP, CP-T; Vice-President Jan Meyer; Secretary Laura Kennedy LeGrand, RP-R (Jan.-Feb.); and Secretary Thomas Holmes (current).

 

Of our 43 current members, we have 16 PRP, 2 PRP-R, 3 RP, 1 RP-R, 20 regular members, and 1 provisional. Besides members in the USA, we have 3 in Canada and one each in Japan, Malaysia, and Lesotho Africa. We had 15-24 attending meetings in 2017, and 19-24 in 2018.
