Subject: Roundtable Transcript
Here's the final reviewed transcript, which has been sent to my web team for posting. In the morning, I'll tweet about it.
The audio file is too big to send via email, but if you want it, I can figure out how to get it to you via DoDSafe.
I need to either speak up or stand somewhere the mics in the room/ceiling can pick up my voice better.
Regards,
Sue
