Hi!
After our lively discussion on Thursday, Kate and I put together the
attached agenda for the mid-year meeting. The meeting will be on Tuesday,
June 22 from 7am-8:15 Pacific time. Dial-in information will be provided
for committee participants not able to attend NATMEC.
Please review the attached that has also been posted on the commitee
website: www.trburbandata.org . I have included the discussion items and
web-links in the body of this email.
PLEASE SEND any additional thoughts about the discussion items to me before
the meeting (reply all or emily.parkany(a)gmail.com ) so that I can prepare a
few Powerpoint slides to spark the discussion. Similarly, please send
related web links/sites to me to include in the final agenda and minutes.
Thank you!
