Hi all,

It has been a few weeks since we last saw/spoke with each other following the success of the summit. Thanks again for all of your hard work and support. The task of creating position statements is a daunting one and our work at the summit was an important step forward. There is still plenty of hard work ahead as we forge ahead to reflect on and refine the position statements that were started.

The board and I will be sending out periodic updates to the entire summit group and membership regarding the status of development. The session leaders will continue to work with you directly as needed to build consensus on the position statements via electronic means. Moving forward, I will work more directly with the session leaders with the hope of having draft positions ready as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at lmatthews@gsu.edu. Thanks again for your hard work and continuing efforts.
