As directed by the Members in the September 2nd teleconference, the Members Advisory Group (MAG) will meet on September 21-22, 2009 to continue the development of the CBFWA 2010-2014 work plan.  The general strategy agreed to during the September 2, 2009 Members meeting is to adopt high level policy directives that will guide the work of CBFWA over the next six months.  Following implementation of those policies a report to the Members will be provided and modifications to the operations will be made if necessary.  For each policy directive, deliverables will be identified as will the tasks necessary to provide each deliverable.   

Attached please find a memo providing greater detail on the tasks at hand.  Members: please review the questions in each policy area and provide feedback to Tom Iverson by COB September 14, 2009.   Tom will rephrase the questions based on your responses.   The updated questions will be provided to the MAG on September 15 in order to guide development of collective statements to define policy directives.    

If you have any questions, please contact Tom Iverson at [email protected] or call 503/229-0191.
