Agenda for April 18th 8:00-11:30

This is what I've got so far for an agenda on the morning of the 18th the agenda in the afternoon will be published soon.  Please feel free to add your comments and ideas about items you'd like to add to that morning.  We won't necessarily be able to cover everything, which isn't my intention, but it will get us started on the journey and your ideas will help assure we are discussing the things that matter most to each of you.  Thanks, Gale
