Hi all:
At the last PN2008 Conference planning meeting we decided that the public
event to be held on Thursday, July 17th should focus on sustainable
transportation issues. We are currently fundraising and should have a some
funding to bring in a speaker or two, but we thought these would be a good
forums to solicit suggestions. Any ideas would be appreciated!
More information about the conference can be found at: www.pnmb.org
We will be posting additional information soon, including the list of mobile
workshops (that we hope will mostly rely on AT and public transit).
Thanks
Richard
