The Technology Work Group may then choose to investigate solutions that bridge that gap, so that funding recommendations can be made to the Regional Collaboration Committee.
8. Next Meeting Date/Adjourn
   • Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 1:00 pm via HSIN Connect (Presentations TBD)

* The “Meet Our Technology” section is normally reserved for regional technology, but from time-to-time we see technology that is used in the region which may not be regional, presented from a user or the technology without the vendor present or supporting. If you know of innovative uses of technology in the region which may be showcased here, contact ian.feldman@houstontx.gov and lach.mullen@houstontx.gov and we will make arrangements for an internal demonstration, if appropriate.
