Future of the Data Facing Track – Calling All Track Members
Currently the Data Facing Track Steering committee consists of three members.  All three may be facing schedule changes that necessitate the need to think about new leadership.  In the past, it has been a challenge to recruit members of the track to serve on the committee.  We invite all track members to attend this session and help us decide how to ensure the priorities of the track are reflected in what form the track takes for the future.
