In early 2001 the COMPAS Project will begin its third and final
phase with the goal of officially launching an organization to
continue the work of the COMPAS Project in Spring-Summer 2001.
Convened through a series of conference calls and internet discussion
tools the COMPAS Project will facilitate a series of "Virtual
Summits" in 2001.
These Virtual Summits are designed to serve
as a forum to discuss issues raised during the COMPAS Retreat
in relation to creating a network for public policy professionals
of color. Additionally, these Virtual Summits are designed to
allow members of the COMPAS Strategic Planning Committee to exchange
ideas and information with other related initiatives occurring
in Texas and California in 2000-01.
For more information about the work of the
Strategic Planning Committee or how you can become involved in
future activities, please email the COMPAS Project @ COMPAS_project@excite.com.
