Introduction of Wendy Rundle, Facilitator
Fall Forum – Handouts, Review of Assignments, and Last-Minute Tasks
After walking members through the agenda for the Fall Forum, the committee discussed among
other things, how the dialogue should be structured once the participants reconvene after the
breakout groups. It was agreed that representatives from each break-out group would present the
highlights of their conversation, and respond only to clarifying questions.
Letters to Clark and Joe
Two letters were circulated among the committee: one to Clark Cowan thanking him for his
service on the committee and contributions to the 20/20 Vision and another to Joe Brevard
formally terminating the contractual relationship with his firm. The committee offered revisions to
the letter for Clark and agreed that it was unnecessary to send the letter to Joe.

The committee agreed that a great deal of effort in the next several weeks would be directed
toward the formation of the working groups and Core Participants Group. Several committee
members indicated that the planning and structuring of these groups is key and will require
significant thought and deliberation. Committee members were reminded to identify people who
they could nominate to the Core Participants Group or a working group.
