ABJ30 Committee Members and Friends,
Tom just provided us with important dates and events for Summer (and
beyond). Our Census Workshop is part of the Joint Summer Meeting
(information for registration below) - Also (see bottom item)
proposals for workshops for the 2011 Annual Meeting need to be completed
by June 1st - I am hoping to hear more about plans for a Census Workshop
and an ADUS Workshop - any other ideas or cross-cutting topics that
might require partnerships with other committees?? Since the deadline
for proposals is prior to our meeting opportunities, we can use our
website, this listserv, or individual email traffic, to get our plans
ready in time -- please send ideas!!!!! Possible topics - collaborative
data collection strategies; integrating "trace data" (e.g., GPS, blue
tooth) with other urban datasets; electric utilities and changing the
vehicle fleet; and........??? Let me know if you would be interested in
helping work on a workshop proposal - thanks!
Kate
