SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The PCPID members participated in a face-to-face 
meeting on February 19-20, 2015 and streamlined the process of 
preparing the 2015 RTP. As the Phase I of the process, they decided to 
research four focus areas through the lens of technology. These focus 
areas included:
    1. Education;
    2. Community Living;
    3. Health and Wellness;
    4. Economic Well-Being.
    The members also agreed to reconvene in April, through a webinar/
conference call, to report their findings to the full Committee and 
discuss the development of potential recommendations for inclusion to 
the PCPID 2015 RTP.
    The general purpose of the PCPID webinar/conference call is, thus, 
to present a forum for the members to complete Phase I and discuss the 
next phase of preparing the PCPID 2015 RTP.
    Webinar and Registration: The webinar is scheduled for April 7, 
2015, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (EST) and may end early if discussions are 
finished. Registration for the webinar is required and is open from 
March 16, 2015 to April 3, 2015.
