Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Thanks for your contributions today. Given that each semester brings new conflicts in scheduling, please keep in mind that you are welcome to recruit a 'co-rep' for your site. Please just be sure that Marty knows who your primary rep is (for the record). Marty
is also the one who can get any co-reps onto the mailing list.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Also, if you have suggestions for the new prompt in our annual committee report, please let me or Nameer know:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<blockquote style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><i>Do you see specific opportunities for improving network coordination (or coordination with other networks) that are of interest to your committee? If <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">so,
are there specific ways that the network leadership (PIs, LNO) could support your committee to realize those opportunities?</span></i></blockquote>

<div>I look forward to bringing in some guest presenters and facilitated sessions toward the end of the year. Until then, thanks for your patience with the constant information gathering and idea exchange.</div>
