Unless you were there for the spectacle or to keep an eye on the others, you were better off for missing it. All of the important business (except formally accepting the results of Site Selection) happened at the previous two meetings.
Unfortunately, you can't just tell people, "All serious business is done, you can leave," because otherwise the "rump meeting" could conceivably do something crazy, like overturn the decisions taken at the previous meeting. So people stick around just to make sure we actually get to adjournment sine die, at which point you can't go back and WSFS stands adjourned for another year. (There's no provision for special meetings of WSFS.)
