Please RSVP to me via email for the meeting whether you are attending via webex or if you will be attending in person (so that we can plan for the number of people to order food for). Also, if you RSVP, I can get you registered for a Texas Instrument’s visitor badge ahead of time and it will take less time to get to the meeting.
