2)John Krogman has agreed to an event with ComETS in early December. The topics are still being discussed, but here is what we pitched to him:

5) Emerging Trends Event in February - Joyce Tikalsky is willing to coordinate.

- From Doug: One idea that generated some excitement was an opportunity for ComETS members to talk about the next phase of the strategic planning process with Ron Kraemer, John Krogman, and charter team leads. The Steering Committee needs to discuss this event at the next SC meeting. Who will contact Ron?
