[Sec-l] annotated agenda

[Robert Baldridge]

Hello All,

You should have heard from the meetings folks about providing 
descriptions of you open meetings.

The idea is to provide, for every open meeting, a description of the 
topic covered and what the attendee might expect to learn. This would 
encourage attendance at the meeting in general and allow attendees to 
plan their schedule by choosing the seminars that most interest them. We 
will publish the full annotated agenda on the web and in the call to the 
meeting and a topic only agenda in THE ENSIGN.

It might look like this (I’m making this up there is no electronic 
submission):

Information Technology 1140-1400
DB2000 and Electronic Merit Mark Submission
Come learn about the latest enhancements to the DB2000 merit mark 
function including electronic submission. Attendees will learn how to 
download the latest updates, find online tutorials, collaborate with 
fellow members, and submit electronically. Live demonstrations and a 
question and answer period will provide attendees with a greater 
understanding of this valuable product.

The above would be in the call and on the web. THE ENSIGN would publish 
a link to the web site and:

Information Technology
DB2000 and Electronic Merit Mark Submission

Now, here’s the trick: we need this information from your committees. 
The deadline for the July/August edition of THE ENSIGN is 1 May. We can 
accept later updates to the text description, but the title has to be in 
by 1 May. If you're like me, you're used to deciding on your open 
meeting topics on the way to the airport so this will require a change 
in process. It should spark more interest in the meetings, however, and 
new issues can always be added at the last minute.

Please give it some thought and reply to the meetings folks quickly. 
Also, please copy Dave and me on your response.

Thanks and Regards,

Robert
