Relationship Map.

Divided into three tiers:
Top tier, companies and organizations with whom we must engage and partner with
Second tier companies and organizations we should engage in conversations with
Third tier, companies and organization to keep on the long-term radar and explore opportunities.
We should add a category for competitors who compete with us for funding/grants, membership and presence in participatory medicine.

Nominating Committee 

SPM Officers change in September.  Josh will send out a request to the membership asking for nominations for members at large, President Elect and Secretary.  At the end of two weeks nominations will close.  The newly elected officers should be taking over in October.
