ISR Training Retreat for 2011:

The group discussed the room booking problem encountered this year (Davis Conference room booked by external group for the last week of April).   It was decided that both the Flexlab and Davis Conference room should be booked now for next year’s retreat.  This will avoid any potential room booking problems next year.  Actions:  Kathy and Judy will book the rooms for the last Thursday of April, 2011.
