Breakfast meetings with Don and Ricardo involved examining some of the research work and processes involved in the PACTS project. This provided a great opportunity to discuss our next steps and to determine how we might best use our experiences from this past week in preparing our Stage 2 SMART proposal.

Ricardo shared his thoughts about this conference. I now share them with everyone because I believe they are an excellent summary of how everyone felt about this gathering ...
