TO: TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE No. 7-08 RE: TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE MEETING - JULY 16 & 17, 2008
The next meeting of the Technology Committee will take place on Wednesday and Thursday July 16 & 17, 2008 at The Sphinx Club at Almas Temple, Oasis Room, 1315 K Street, NW, Washington, DC. The sessions will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at approximately 3:00 p.m. on both days. Participants are encouraged to attend both meetings.
Business Continuity Sub-Committee
I am pleased to announce that it has been decided that the Technology Committee will have a Business Continuity Sub-Committee, chaired by Michael L. Curry, Principal, Planning & Development, The Vanguard Group, Inc. The meeting of the sub-committee will be part of the overall Technology Committee agenda and take place throughout the two days. In other words, this is not a separate meeting but rather, a formalized method of integrating BCP agenda items within the overall Technology Committee’s agenda.
