Thank you Jan.
I LOVED the Op Ed and it was SO well written. I fully understand that it stated that this was the
voice of only Jan and Deanna since you did not run it by all of us for approval. However, I want
to make sure that all of our voices as Study Commissioners are represented. When you talk
about it during the meeting, and point out the handout copy, can you please repeated say that
while you and Deanna were tasked with writing it, the sentiment of the article is from every
Study Commissioner? I would not want the public to jump to a conclusion that the rest of us
are not on board with the mission of the Study Commission.
Hope this makes sense, and thank you for your leadership.

Mike,
Can we ask our Staff support Calaeb to have copies of the Op Ed available at all of our
upcoming Meetings and Listening sessions?
And the flier with QR code, etc to be shared by other participants?
And do you need assistance for procuring beverages and snacks, etc?
Thanks,
Jan

Agreed. Thanks so much Jan and Deanna. This is great.
And apologies for the strange calendar invite that apparently went to everyone for the
Oct 15th meeting — it had disappeared from my calendar so I was just trying to readd it. I
didn't know it went to everyone until Deanna asked me about it.
See you on Thursday.
