Western Region Height Modernization Consortium • Had good participation in National Survey Week Activities in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, with a few being observed in Utah but not yet finished in OPUS. • Briefing with Diane Arendt of Great Lakes Height Mod Consortium went very well, coming up with two documents that may well help us move ahead forming structure, mission statement, goals and issues. • We’ve taken on the task of doing a poster for the ESRI conference in July in Illinois. The word is out for help and Scott has received some but would like more.
