Ever been at a meeting at IAMU's office and looked down at the battery indicator on your phone/tablet only to see it desperately needed a charge? No need to worry any longer.

IAMU has set up a series of charging stations for Apple and Android phones/tablets in our meeting rooms. We encourage members to use the chargers if they need to charge their devices during meetings. There are several of them around the tables in the board room, one in the small conference room, one in the atrium outside the auditorium, and a final one out in the shop on the lower shelf of the av cart.
