This was an urgent/emergency board meeting called to address requests made by the WI Xiong leadership regarding adding these two categories to the current list of cultural master practitioners: Txiv Neeb and Xibfwb.

Culture Committee Chair Tsav Lis Xyooj was not present in the meeting but had previously spoken to President Chue Wang Xiong and indicated that he will go with what the group decides from the meeting. It was decided that we will add Nam Neeb, Txiv Neeb, and Xibfwb to the list of cultural master practitioners.

We will update the nomination form and make it available ASAP.
