As the Roundtable's liaison to ABAG and MTC, Bruce will update us on the agencies' activity relating to the Priority Development Areas project, the ABAG Fall General Assembly (jobs/employment theme?), the RTP 2035 and other Bay Area-wide initiatives.  

*  Roundtable's South Bay forum in the fall (Zelda)   We need to refine and finalize the forum's theme so we can move forward in planning this event, including looking for financial support.
