[CBW_Exec] CBW Misson Statement: Almost There!

[kbaca@nmsu.edu]

Hannah, thanks for thinking more on this and finding a good revision. I'm with
Deborah on a yes. 

Thanks also to Deborah and Liz and Sarah and others who added important ideas
and wording. I want to again thank Steve and Susan for your creativity and
thoughtfulness in crafting the original--you made our little committee look good! kb
