    Our IDASPC gathering must not reinvent analysis, information, strategies that have been well framed already. We must use our precious time to forge ahead and use what has already been said and understood to reach for the next set of future solutions. These must be based on the current realities and be cognizant of the demonstrated lack of success in applying yesterday’s best ideas and understandings. The following list represents a remarkable and brilliant record of what should be our starting point.

    These are but initial listings which should become links among our partnership network’s websites; a starting place from which to refine and essentialize what people should know to grow their programs.
