Meeting at SF State Downtown campus. Details coming soon...
[edit] Location(s)
Current location is at San Francisco State University Downtown campus in but please suggest other Bay area locations.
Room 553, SF State Downtown campus (835 Market St., San Francisco, CA 94103 USA). Note this location is not the main campus. This is the same building as the new Westfield mall that houses Bloomingdale's. Look for the SFSU banner on Market St. between 4th and 5th streets, right next to Walgreens. Take the elevator to the 5th floor.
A huge thank you to San Francisco State University's College of Business Graduate Program for letting us use a room on Saturdays.
