Letter to Regional Council Members from Council Chair

March 14, 2000

Dear Council Member:

Congratulations on being selected to this very important Federal Advisory Committee. I consider it an honor to serve in the capacity of the Regional Resource Stewardship Council Chair and to lead the Council in its work. I spent several days last week reviewing materials and working with the Council consultant, Jim Creighton, finalizing the agenda and preparing for the meetings ahead. I trust you will lend me your support and assistance as we learn to work together over the coming months.

Attached you will find the agenda for the first meeting, a bio sheet on the keynote speaker for the reception, and a bio sheet for the Council consultant.

I look forward to working with you.

Eddie L. Smith, Jr.
Council Chair
