Hello AED20 Members and Friends,

I hope everyone has enjoyed the month long TRB!

Thanks to everyone who attended our committee meeting on January 6.  We had over 140 people online at the peak of attendance, which is pretty impressive (especially given the events happening in Washington at the same time as our meeting).  We have posted the materials from the annual meeting and our meeting minutes to the committee website: https://sites.google.com/site/trbabj30/meetings/2021-annual-meeting

We're continuing to work on our website, and I hope to use this more effectively as a way to archive and share committee business moving forward.  I would especially like to thank Jinghua Xu  and JD Allen for their work on the website and Pavithra Parthasarathi for putting together the minutes.  

As far as next steps, committee members should be expecting to see drafts of the TSP before the midyear meeting.  I'll also be getting in touch with people who volunteered for the two research working groups next week to arrange some brainstorming meetings.  We'll also be having a virtual mid year meeting in June or July.   I expect to have that scheduled next month so you can block it on your calendar.

Mike Fontaine,
Chair, AED20
