Perdue to get advice
Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue is seeking some advice as she prepares to take over from Gov. Mike Easley.
In a news release today (click here to download) Perdue says she will hold open meetings in 14 topic areas. From the release:
The meetings will be staffed and run by professional facilitators from the N.C. Small Business Technology Development Center. The groups will be asked to review materials and presentations from the state’s cabinet agencies, discuss missions and programs, and provide feedback and recommendations that will be delivered to Governor-elect Perdue.The meetings are open to the public; anyone interested in participating should contact the transition office at 919-715-1540 or visit bevperdue.com. Locations and dates are subject to change.
Each group is expected to provide diverse input rather than reach a single group consensus. While some groups may schedule follow-up meetings as necessary, final recommendations will be submitted to Governor-elect Perdue’s transition team by Dec. 8.
The groups in question will meet from Nov. 19 through Nov. 24. They're due to cover Aging, Commerce, Corrections, Crime Control, Cultural Resources, DENR, Education, Energy, Health, IT/DOA, Mental Health, Military, Revenue and Transportation.

Welcome back, belatedly. Hope the conference went well. I keep waiting for Greg to write up his experience, but mum's apparently the word.
Thanks for all you do.

Hey James. The conference went well. Greg was there for a good deal of it, so he should have a fairly complete report.
The irony of running one of those things is you get to design the conference you'd like to attend and get to see darned little of it.
