The breakfast meeting will be held at Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa -- upstairs at the convention center in Veranda D. The meeting is under the direction of FCC appointed SECC Chairwoman, Adrienne Abbott.
The first part of the meeting leads up to the critical rewrite of the State EAS Plan. According to Adrienne, "I have an outline of what I see needs to be done for the rewrite that I will hand out and I want to get everyone's input on the process and what they think we need to do and make sure we're covering everything".
