TO: RESEARCH COMMITTEE NO. 7-89
RE: RESEARCH COMMITTEE PLANNING MEETING
__________________________________________________________
The next meeting of the Research Committee will be held
Wednesday, June 14, 1989 in Washington at the ICI Board Room.
The meeting will begin at 10 a.m., and continue through lunch to
approximately 3:30 p.m. We value your participation in this
planning meeting and hope that each of you will be able to
attend.
The main purpose of the meeting is to set the research agenda for
the coming year. Prior to the meeting we will send you
background material on proposed projects as well as details on
the fixed workload of the department. This material should be
reviewed before the meeting so that through discussion we can
develop the next year's program.
In the next few weeks (before 21 April) we would welcome your
suggestions for topics that may lead to research proposals which
could be included in the background material. We would prefer to
have your suggestions submitted in writing. However, if you are
pressed for time you may convey your thoughts to Sandy West by
phone (202-293-7700).
We hope to see you at the General Membership Meeting in May; at
one of our presentations on the Channels of Distribution Research
in Boston, New York, or Chicago; and at the June meeting. Feel
free to call if you have any questions regarding any of these
meetings.
