And it wasn't just the ADs, in general unless a chair was off talking to an inter-area AD, you could also easily find other chairs in not-your-area.

As far as a "another closed meeting" (mentioned elsewhere), it wouldn't *have* to be closed. Just having leadership grouped and easily findable is useful. Make it a cash bar instead of free, or if we need to incentivize leadership to actually attend (and keep out people just looking for free drinks), maybe add a couple drink tickets to the badge pickup for leadership.

Call it a leadership reception or something.
