If you missed the last day of The Rangelands Partnership annual meeting yesterday, we discussed the WERA, which is the document that allows the partnership to continue. A new WERA was drafted in January and the draft is still in the review stage. To move forward,
we need everyone, including libraries, to sign on to the WERA. The more people from different states who are listed, the better. Right now, only seven states are represented so please at your name. Instructions are below. Let me know if you have any questions.</div>
