Dear friends, colleagues & supporters,

I hope your summer (for those in the northern hemisphere) is off to a good start and that you have many plans for enjoying the season. For those in the South, I hope the cool breeze is a welcome change.

As you know, I believe that it is critical to engage in ongoing conversations with the MBB stakeholder community.  We started this in the form of ‘Open Mics’  in April of this year and have had very productive conversations with some involved as project leaders, others as committee members and members looking for ways in which to get more involved. In fact, the creative suggestions have led to changes that we have not wasted any time in implementing.

So, I invite all new members (and interested others) to join the conversation! We have new members from Canada, Croatia, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia and the U.S. It is a great opportunity to meet each other, share ideas and suggestions. Please join me and others in the MBB community.

The next one is scheduled for:

Wednesday July 16, 2014 at Noon PT; 3 pm ET; 8 pm GMT.

I am planning the one in August for a time that is more convenient for our colleagues in Oz and NZ.

While we plan on having these sessions until the end of this year, I fully anticipate continuing beyond that time period and will develop a format based on our initial conversations.

Please RSVP to let Gillian know of your interest at her email gsaxbymbb@gmail.com.  Also, you may want to check the MBB website  for upcoming events and ways in which you can get involved.

I look forward to many more conversations.

Sincerely,

Prabha Sankaranarayan
