[All] Fwd: notes and thank you!

[John Jackson]

Attached are the notes that the Regional staff took at our Thursday meeting on the Regional Strategy. 

I personally found it to be a very useful meeting in terms of the input that we all made to the Region. I also found it valuable in terms of furthering of GREN interaction and understanding of each others' interests and passions. Usually, of necessity, we have to keep our discussions focused at our meetings. So it was fun to be able to have a two-hour free-ranging discussion among ourselves.

Please go through the notes and send any corrections/clarifications to Lorie at the Region. Please cc me on any comments you send her so I have that information when we make a formal submission to the Council on their proposed priorities this September.

John

These notes are transcript type notes – rather than minutes in case you were wondering about the format.  Please pass to your group and if they have any changes they would like to make let them know they can contact Eleanor or myself and we will make their changes.

His name is David Roewade and he is on the cc of this email as well I have put his contact info below.
