[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Meeting Reminder: Batteries and The Grid, presented by Ted Kochanski 10AM ET, Wednesday, September 13, 2023. Lexington Computer and Technology Group

[OLGA P GUTTAG]

Though I generally don’t like rebranding of products or institutions, if you really want to change the group name (I would not) I’ll support whatever decision you make.

I think the "LSTG -- Lex. Science & Technology Group" is more accurate. Since we often also talk about computing, we should add it to the new name "LSCTG -- Lex. Science, Computing & Technology Group"

I am not sure but I think that some group/program within LPS is already called LexSTEM. I have most often encounter the "<place>STEM" name in reference to school/university programs. I recommend that we do not use STEM in our new name.

Thanks for all of the work you put into keeping us going,
Olga
