Greetings all, I will be at the OpenGovHub in DC from 2-3:30 p.m. tomorrow on Tuesday, May 6. As space is limited, if you would like an invite, drop me a note: [email protected]
I will now NOT be able to meet up as suggest at 4 p.m. but folks involved with NCDD.org are meeting at the same Hotel Sofitel location if you are into dialogue and deliberation.
