Net@EDU StateNets CEO Summer Meeting 2008
June 16-18, 2008
Girdwood, Alaska

The CEOs of the Net@EDU StateNets Working Group convene every summer to share their experiences and challenges in running education and research networks. The 2008 meeting will take advantage of this opportunity in order to gauge the StateNets community’s progress in meeting the goals articulated at last year’s CEO strategic workshop. Time will also be dedicated to strategizing on policy outreach activities and determining whether new focus groups should be created to meet the existing and future needs of the StateNets community. Net@EDU and the StateNets Steering Committee wish to convey their appreciation to Rich Greenfield and his team at the Alaska Distance Education Consortium and University of Alaska for co-hosting this meeting, June 16-18, 2008.
