2006 UCAR Members' Meeting Summary

Many thanks to those of you who attended the UCAR meetings two weeks ago in Boulder. It was a very full, productive and rewarding week for us. I very much appreciate the number of early career faculty members who attended and the number of Member and Affiliate Reps who took the time to travel here.

The break-out session discussions on the implementation of the new UCAR Strategic Plan were especially productive. We are working through all of the ideas generated from those sessions, and I am looking forward to working more closely with many of you in coming years as we move ahead with the Strategic Plan implementation.

Below are links to many of the meetings’ presentations. Please feel free to contact me about any follow-up questions you might have about the meeting topics, or about any questions you have about UCAR in general.

Thank you all for your participation.

Best Wishes,
Rick
