2006 BOV meeting Agenda

   

Tuesday, November 7, 2006

 
   
5:00 p.m. New Location! Reception in Holiday Inn, University Center, Schenley I-III Ballroom

The reception will provide an opportunity for BOV members to meet each other and to begin to share ideas derived from preparatory materials. BOV members will be pre-assigned to break-outs (aligned with their individual expertise or interest) so they can begin to think about the issues in advance and meet the other members of their group at the dinner following the reception.

Tuesday evening will also provide an opportunity for BOV members to post their own ideas, issues, and questions to the group to influence preparation for the discussions tomorrow.
