One of the two major areas of focus for me these days is AMARC. I am working with Tom Suder, the President of MobileGov on setting AMARC up.
We just finished setting up our webpage, www.amarcedu.org.
We are in the process of creating an Advisory Board consisting of Academic, Government, and Corporate members to provide intellectual direction for AMARC and to provide support for the Summits and Annual conferences where AMARC will be the host organization and/or involved.
If your company is interested in joining, if you need additional information and/or you would like to get involved, please use the “Contact” link on the webpage or contact me directly. I would be glad to meet with/speak to/write about mobile technology issues to help get each of you involved in this very important activity.Advanced Mobility Academic Research Center (AMARC) – WebSite Is Up

I was, to my continual amazement, invited back again to be on the Federal news Countdown, hosted by Francis Rose, on WFED, on the AM dial at 1500.
