The El Paso Lyceum is the initiative meant to capitalize on the efforts set-forth by the 2005 Regional Economic Summit. The effort again brings together the best of this regional community in public and private sectors to work towards bringing out the best this area has to offer to its current and future citizens.

The six Cabinets that comprise the El Paso Lyceum have already begun to meet and I believe that the members of these cabinets can help bring great changes. I ask you as a community, not just a city, to keep yourself informed of the efforts being made on your behalf. I have created this website as a way to communicate with you the ideas and actions taking place so be sure to check back here regularly to keep yourself involved.

Each of the six Cabinets has a set of expectations that I have set forth for them to review and if possible, work towards implementing. Some expectations come from the summit and the feedback we received on what the community would like to see and hear, other expectations come from members of the sub-committees that worked on the Summit. But each of these expectations is meant to move El Paso, and the region, in a new direction towards something bigger and better than we have ever seen before.

Never forget that it is only together that we can bring about the change we wish to see in our region. And never forget, the stars are in alignment-it's our time to shine.

Sincerely,
John F. Cook
