2011 Events for Review and Comment

Dear EM Members,

We are currently working on the 2011 OASIS Event Plan. Our main goals are to educate the marketplace on the benefits and status of our work, and to provide visibility for our members. We would like to include a few OASIS Emergency Management activities (i.e. workshop, showcase, and/or interoperability demonstrations) in this plan. These activities may be held in conjunction with another event or hosted as a stand-alone event (maybe at a member facility).

Below is a list of potential events for review. Please let us know if there is any interest in hosting a workshop, presentation, and/or interoperability demonstration in conjunction with any of these events and/or if you have any other events for us to review. Input is always welcome.

Kind Regards, Jane
