Just getting back at it.  Perry, are you still the mod/adminsitrator for this board?

If so could you create another thread such as "New EIA State Chapters".  I would like to bounce ideas off of other chapters.  We are holding a Texas Chapter Kickoff on Oct. 22, 2007.  It looks pretty good so far.  Here is the invite:

You have been invited to the inaugural meeting of the Texas Chapter of the Environmental Information Association, on Monday October 22, 2007 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at GEBCO’s new facility.  The purpose of this meeting is to re-establish this chapter in Texas starting with the DFW area.  We will concentrate our efforts and discussion of issues promoting public health and safety, the influences on our business sector, and legislative issues.  Lunch will be provided so please RSVP if planning to attend so we can get a “head count” for the luncheon. 



Below is the proposed agenda including location.  We look forward to your attendance!
