Commitment by senior institu- <br />tional leadership to come to- <br />gether 2 or 3 times a year with <br />their peers to focus on the most <br />crucial development and infra- <br />structure issues facing the re- <br />gion. <br />2. Sustained involvement by staff <br />and members from the spon- <br />sors in the work of the Partner- <br />ship. <br />3. A three- to five-year initial <br />funding commitment to define <br />and cant' out the Partnership's <br />work program. <br />Our target is to gain partner com- <br />mitments over the next few <br />months and launch the Partner- <br />ship by August 2007. <br />We are committed to making the <br />Partnership a valued use of time <br />and resources. Join us in helping <br />chart a successful development <br />and infrastructure investment fu- <br />ture for the Research Triangle Re- <br />gion. <br />`mt,t' <br />A r?i <br />shipUMisstahs„ <br />?etl?er commurl?#y"grrd regional partners to <br />n, regional strategies for. <br /> <br />• infrastructure to support development <br />• improved mobility <br />-gze <br />it saw
