Compass Points:  We have a proposal from Wilder Research that will need review and attention.  It was noted that the proposal included a two page insert that would address disparities.  General consensus was that there is value in renewing this project; that there is a liklihood of funding; that it fits/enhances a number of other community efforts including Cradle to Career.  It should be continued and the Steering Committee should make this the principle topic of discussion at the February 13th meeting.
