As always happens at REI, discussion quickly moved to local economic development and entrepreneurship issues and concerns - which allowed for discussion about REALNEO among a small and diverse group of community leaders.

We browsed the REALNEO site on-line, projected for all to absorb - username and password provided for future browsing - all are encouraged to comment. Very good response, as many peple approached me after the session for follow-up discussion and meeting.
