Members and Friends of AJB30, As we get ready to head for Washington, D.C. in a few weeks for the Annual Meeting - please let me know your thoughts about having our Mid-Year Meeting in Seattle from July 19th through the 21st. Tom Palmerlee is in final negotiations for the summer venues and this ones sounds really good to me (and yes, it is near blizzard conditions here in Albany, New York) - According to Tom's recent email, the summer meeting will stress time for flexible committee meetings with less emphasis on sessions. I think our Committee should take this opportunity to really get to know the urban data issues facing other Committees - and be ready to help with the data challenges ahead!! (this should help us make the case for why data programs need $$$ --after all - data is a critical component of any infrastructure spending!!!) - Thanks in advance for any input for our summer meeting - and have a wonderful Holiday!
