Annual Meeting 2025

The annual meeting is a time for GLO members to come together, learn about board opportunities, and celebrate all that we have accomplished this year!

Note: On Monday, September 22, at approximately 10:00 a.m., GLO Center staff received a threat to the Center and our community. For safety, the Center closed and cancelled all events for the day, including the Annual Meeting. After careful consideration, The GLO Center has decided to move the Annual Meeting to Zoom. Members will be emailed the link on Monday 9/29.
