Question, cordially seeking advice.

yesterday, I found out sr. director has scheduled a next-year plannaing meeting next week.Almost everyone is on the invitation list except me. exactly teh same thing as last year. I ahve several options here to deal with it:

1. talk with my boss when he gets back, let him know that I should be in the meeting since I am leading a part in that program. Although most of the work is completed, not much to do next year, if they have issues relevant to that piece, I am the right person to address it. And then as a side track, continue to express my frustration with sr. director. teh drawback here is that it may only increase my boss' tension. He is fighting with sr. director. But this may nto be the right armour for him to use and can only give him more frustration. this is what I did last year. the effect was the complaint escalated to big boss and from some channel I learned that this may have saved me from losing my job during lay-off. not sure whether it is real though. One card I can play now is that since I have discovered some serious issues in that program, this "unvitation" signals as distrust or even retaliation. is this the time to play this card? I know that is an overkill, just for the fun of it. any ideas here?

2. In a relevant group meeting, let my freiend bring this up. Ask sr. director why there should be another meeting when the planning can be discussed at the group meeting. then I can observe what happens and see if I should ask "innocently" "there is a planning meeting? How come I don't know about it?"

3. Sr. director obviously does nto want me to get too close to his territory since he may lose it if I get a chance to show my capability there. Also he does nto liek me anyway and vice versa. At the moment, I probably should just keep quiet and let it go. Wait for my own opportunities. then again, there is no guarantee that any opportunities coming from my buket will not be taken away.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
