[This is the same link used for our previous meetings.]
The meeting will provide an opportunity for all of us to learn more about the many advocacy initiatives under way and on the drawing boards. These updates and discussions will provide an excellent venue for you to contribute your ideas on what HP needs to do and how to do it so we can best achieve our advocacy mission. And to express your interest in participating to making these efforts a success.
We hope that many of you will participate on Thursday, and then continue your participation in the weeks to come, as we implement our advocacy plans for the rest of this year and beyond.
