MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
DEBRA PLEASE EDIT
I look forward to seeing many of you at upcoming events and meetings this fall to share information about our activities and to learn more about how DuraSpace can continue to meet your needs. We are investigating several new opportunities for partnerships with organizations worldwide to provide our members with access to new types of technologies and user communities. I will share details about these exciting initiatives as they emerge.
