RE: CTPP webinar from May 21.

by Murakami, Elaine

Dear Everyone who attended the webinar on Weds, and wanted to download the files. FHWA just updated the webinar software and somehow we have TEMPORARILY lost our materials. The NHI team is working to restore our CTPP web meeting room. Thank you for your patience. Since I will be on vacation until June 7, please contact Ed Christopher with your webinar follow-up questions. 708-283-3534. Elaine

We have scheduled a second webinar on June 4 to accommodate people who were unable to attend the May 21 session. The webinar will cover the same information as the May 21 webinar. (Also, the May 21 webinar will be archived for 30 days, but because of upgrades to the FHWA webinar software, I do not yet have a link to the archived materials. In addition, we will have notes from the Q&A from May 21 posted to the web meeting room in a few days.) To assure your space, please pre-register for the June 4 meeting.
