When I first came to MiDiv from another division (circa 1990), there was a spring meeting and a fall convention. NeDiv and CenDiv have two meetings/year today.
The primary drawback I see to having only a spring meeting is that we probably won't review any of the things which happened during previous season. Let's face it, by spring many of us will have forgotten and/or repressed certain situations which need to be addressed and planned for in the next year.
Yes, a spring meeting does allow us to bring forth the ideas and enthusiasm from the National Convention. And, maybe a spring meeting would allow people to find some extra cash early in the year, rather than trying find money at the end of the year.
Are there good reasons to have both a spring meeting and a fall meeting?
