ABJ30 Members and Friends,
Below is the revised agenda for our Summer Mid-year meeting in WDC – we will have a special guest speaker:  Burton H. Reist, Chief 2020 Research and Planning Office – he will be informing us on current plans for the 2020 Census – it should be a very informative talk.  We will also be discussing MAP-21 impacts, the emerging transportation and the extreme weather situation, and what data decision-makers need.  We plan to use gotomeeting and will have a phone number for members and friends to call in.  Looking forward to seeing all of you in WDC at our meeting – or hearing from you on the phone! 
Regards,
Kate
