1) Project-evaluation survey: Thanks to those of you who have already completed the 1st Project Evaluation survey (20 out of 25 members). A friendly reminder to those who have not yet completed the survey, please do so at your earliest convenience!  

2) New CAB members: We are in the process of recruiting new members. So far, seven candidates accepted our invitation. Welcome aboard! We look forward to working with you.  

3) Meeting #1: Based on some members’ comments/feedback and after consulting with PCORI we decided to modify Meeting #1 agenda and timetable to make sure all members, particularly the newly recruited, are familiar with the project objectives and their roles. Stay tuned!  

4) Short biography of members: In preparation for Meeting #1, we plan to distribute a brief one paragraph biography to introduce each member, including their background and how they may contribute to this Engagement project. We will draft it for each member and send it for his/her review and approval. Stay tuned!
