In an effort to keep our membership better informed on the high priority action items of the PANWTF we are starting to track these action items on a regular basis and report on them in Turkey Talk. The above report card lists several high profile action items and the progress made to date. With each new issue of Turkey Talk we will update the report card as well as add new topics as they are introduced. Included in the report card is the date the action item was started along with a status and when it was completed. Also listed is the amount of money the PANWTF has spent or raised in support of that action item.
