[ABJ30] [Fwd: TRB 2007 Summer Conference]

This is just a heads up on the TRB summer meetings in Chicago this year. Our committee will be meeting Monday morning July 9th between 10:00 am and 11:45 am. While we will be spending time talking about our plans for the annual meeting we will also spend some time talking about the strategic direction of the committee. Although I have not vetted this yet my intent is to build upon the Millennium paper that we did 7 years ago and use that process to help set a strategic direction for the new (unnamed) chair. Although it was never really articulated I did use that document as blueprint to follow when I assumed leadership of the committee. I would like to afford the new chair the same opportunity. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: TRB 2007 Summer Conference Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 16:50:54 -0400 From: "TRB Meetings Staff (email)" &lt;TRBMeetings(a)nas.edu&gt; Reply-To: TRBMeetings(a)nas.edu To: "Edward Christopher" &lt;edc(a)berwyned.com&gt; Friday, June 8 is the last day to receive the Advance registration fee.
