Re: AccessLearn CG—announcing new chair

Hi David,

Thanks for the update and the introduction to Mary. I have looped in the
Education and Outreach WG team leads - chair and staff contacts - so that
they may also be aware of the changes.  Please invite Mary to attend EO
meetings anytime that you all might like to develop support from that group
for your work.

Best,
Sharron
