• Requirement for ½ FTE PD staff member from ACT-IAC (Potentially could assists with Academy integration as well)

• Meetings are after hours or weekends• No offsites (or one ending offsite to bring the whole group

together?)• Cost – Suggest $10K for Industry and $7500 for Government• We will need to contract with an Executive Coach for
