But there’s a national piece to what the foundation will do: we would like to start a real, honest dialogue about the prevention of child abuse. I don’t think we would have specific programs per se, but would use our bully pulpit and megaphone to really start a discussion.

This national piece is much more about awareness and messaging, so it makes sense to essentially repeat the process with a different focus. Rather than identifying potential outcome goals and defining metrics for success (as we did for the local stuff), we should think very clearly about what we want to say nationally and to whom we should be saying it.

I’ve check with Anthony Bernal your office, Dr. B, and he said the 28 (Sunday) and 29 (Monday) of February work for your schedule. Those dates also work for Robert.
