NEW — September 8 Ad Hoc CC Working Group Discussion
We have scheduled an Ad Hoc Working Group Discussion session for nextThursday, September 8 from 1:00 to 4:00PM. The meeting is hosted by the Sheet Metal Workers Local 104 at their offices at 1939 Market Street (at Guerrero Street). Teleconference number for remote participants is 212-727-4600 / passcode 0817894# (no webcast).
The main objective of the meeting is to allow stakeholders to begin sharing their views on a number of issues arising from the August 18 Final Decision that relate to the PA Business Plans. This conversation should help us accomplish more during our September 21 CC meeting. The Ad Hoc Working Group meeting is voluntary for CC Members and no official actions will be taken in the meeting. Member priority rules for commenting, however, will be in effect. The meeting is open to the public both for in-person and teleconference participation.
Proposed discussion topics for this session are posted on the CAEECCwebsite. If you have additional topics you would like considered, please email us at facilitator@CAEECC.org.
