The 1990 Executive Board


Just 10 years ago the CRG newsletter was a one page, 10 font, black and white insert that was mailed along with the meeting announcement. It listed the Group's Executive Board Members, meeting dates, education program and a 3 line membership form at the bottom of the page that asked for your name, company name and mailing address.
