<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I met yesterday with my counterparts (Chairs) in the other SSPHR units to discuss various matters related to the reorg (of note: I am both a member of the SSPHR ‘leadership group’ and a member of this committee)
and some of us were wondering if members of the DNC might be interested in meeting with us as a group. Some members of SSPHR ‘leadership group’ have been shepherding the reorg through since the beginning and collectively there is a great deal of corporate
knowledge that the DNC would likely benefit from as we move through the nomination process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
