Meetings will be held in the Varsity Theater, Conference Center or 3228 WSC beginning Oct. 1 and continuing through Oct. 30. You will find the meeting schedule at: http://www.byu.edu/hr/benefits/news.html.

Each meeting will last approximately one hour and will include a presentation by DMBA representatives.
