[GREN-Exec] suggestion for a speaker for GREN

[Susan Koswan]

I'm sure you're all fairly familiar with Theresa McLenaghan's work, but
here's a nice summary. I know she's insanely busy, but she always seems to
be able to make time for groups such as ours. I think she'd be a nice follow
up to Leanna Lobe's presentation last night. She has the distinct advantage
of being "one of us" and working from the "inside".

I'd be happy to ask her.
