Get ready for the fall launch of the newest resource for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). Congress specifically required EPA to develop an accountability system to track this unprecedented level of funding. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Accountability system (GLAS) is the primary mechanism for collecting information to monitor and report on Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) progress. GLAS is a Web-based project tracking system that will be available to the public to provide transparency and accountability for how GLRI funds are being used. / http://greatlakesrestoration.us/?p=1028 / Building transparency and accountability GLAS will allow you to see Who received GLRI funds How the funds are being spent Where the funds are being spent What progress is being made in restoring the Great Lakes Learn more about GLAS Register for a GLAS webinar to learn more and ask questions Wed, Sep 1, 2010 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT (11:00AM – noon Eastern time) https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/625115913 Wed, Sep 8, 2010 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT (11:00AM – noon Eastern time) https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/321151233 Wed, Sep 15, 2010 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT (11:00AM – noon Eastern time) https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/963058729 Watch the GLAS demonstration video which shows the key information and capabilities of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Accountability System (GLAS). http://greatlakesrestoration.us/?p=851 _______________________ Pranas Pranckevicius, CISSP U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes National Program Office 77 West Jackson Blvd. G-17J Chicago, IL 60604-3590 pranckevicius.pranas at epa.gov 312 353-3437 Tel | 312 385-5446 Fax www.epa.gov/greatlakes | greatlakesrestoration.us twitter.com/glrestore
