Dear NCAR Fellows,
Next Friday November 10th is the ASP Annual Retreat at the Boulder
Broker Inn. All ASP fellows are expected to attend all day, and all
NCAR fellows are invited and encouraged to join us for lunch and the
afternoon session.
We will need to know the number of people attending by noon on Monday
the 6th. Please respond to Kathleen Barney (leeney at ucar.edu) as soon
as possible if you plan to attend.
**ASP fellows are expected to attend and must respond either way. **
Our working agenda follows below, but we will also be discussing
education and outreach at some point during the day. Please send me
any feedback that you may have about the agenda and any other topics
that you would like to discuss.
Paula
