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@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!
