OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS Two new potential work plans were discussed: 1) activities be created around cultural awareness/appreciation months to coincide with the posters that are distributed and displayed by each office, such as hosting speakers or showing videos 2) coordinate diversity/EEO training -- possibly by video conferencing. Natalie Huff will be contacted regarding both of these matters. ANNOUNCEMENTS Jeremy indicated that California State Fullerton was having a resume workshop on February 22.

ACCESS NOAA did a piece on Rosemary Troian's workplan called "Partnership in Education", which could be used by any lab or office to partner with an inner city school. KUDOS to you, Rosemary!
