<b>4:00 PM - 5:30 PM <font color="#000080">Forum on the Regional Activities of IBPSA-USA<br>
</b></font> Moderators: Les Norford, President, IBPSA-USA<br>
Phil Haves, Vice President, IBPSA-USA<br>
Discussion of the need to attract more practitioners to the activities<br>
and interests of IBPSA. Issues include developing more regional ties<br>
and activities under various subgroups of IBPSA-USA and coordination <br>
with IBPSA-Canada. These might include local newsletters and mailing<br>
lists, workshops and regional meetings, etc. The goal of this session<br>
is to discuss the possibilities and solicit other ideas that could<br>
enhance this effort. A breakout session with groups for each of the<br>
potential regions will be held to assist in the generation of ideas<br>
and to promote ties among the members of each region. Please note that<br>
there is no charge for participation in the forum.<br>
