We need to get your input on agenda items for the meeting. Please e-mail your suggestions to Greg Smith (smith@ici.org) or Laura Fergerson (lferger@frk.com). Our experience indicates that if topics are circulated in advance, the value of the discussion is considerably enhanced. A preliminary agenda will be circulated to the Subcommittee prior to the meeting. If necessary, we will reserve time at the end of the agenda for discussion of any topics relating to fund sponsors only.
We look forward to seeing you in Washington!
