To assist with next-stage strategic planning for HSJN, we have assembled a team of attorneys from 17 firms and in-house legal departments in 13 cities to act as a National Advisory Committee. Bruce Prager of Latham & Watkins (BRUCE.PRAGER@lw.com) in New York and Cristin Zeisler of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips (CZeisler@manatt.com) in Los Angeles are co-chairing this Advisory Committee. The Committee has had a number of calls and will be moving forward in Working Groups to address potential new projects for the Network, including end of life planning documents, creditors rights and other financial services issues, and ways to develop and connect the Network. We will keep you apprised of our progress, and we encourage you to share your ideas for the Network's future at any time.

We are grateful to all of the Committee members:
