Following you will find the notes form the wrap-up to the Conference and the Committee's outline for
our 2014 meeting in Tampa. Please look over the information and make any comments on the forum.
Veronica is putting together a conference call for early July. We
would like to try to get comfortable with this agenda at that call.
Please be sure to think about what Roundtable session should be joint or
individual groups.
Thanks
