I was just reminded that I did not include an update for hte Educatino Taskforce in my last message. I don't know how I could have forgotten!
The open meeting a couple of weeks ago went very well. We have a lot of people who are interested in working together. Right now, we are taking time to get all of the informaiotn from the meeting organized and up on our website. Once we do so, we will be able to create subgroups (sort of like what the Cost of Energy group did) to address the identified priorities.
We should be ready soon! Keep watching for more details!
