HBAS Development Committee Update

Thanks again everyone for attending our first development meeting. Our next meeting is scheduled for January 31, 2010 at 5 EST. The purpose of our next meeting will be primarily to discuss: corporate sponsors, give-aways, rewards, and corporate discounts. We came up with several topics (which I have listed on hold for now), because if we can at least figure out the game plan for these four things, then we can splinter off and start working on our hold item of choice. If you would like to be added to the HBAS Development Committee email list, please email Chris-Tia Donaldson @ cdonalds@post.harvard.edu.
