CT Cafe

Hello CPATH Friends!

The steering committee met last Thursday, February 26, to determine the level of interest/passion for pursuing the next level of CPATH involvement. The vote was nearly unanimous and one quote sums it up, "I can't imagine NOT going forward!" The next step is to apply for the implementation grant, for which the deadline is coming quickly in April.

Please see the document called "CPATH II Concept Development" linked at the right to read some questions to stimulate ideas and post your feedback as a response to this post.

Thank you,

The CPATH Steering Committee
