SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NACIE, established by Section 25(c) of the 
Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980, as amended (15 
U.S.C. 3720(c)), and managed by EDA's Office of Innovation and 
Entrepreneurship (OIE), is a Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 
committee that provides advice directly to the Secretary of Commerce. 
NACIE's advice focuses on transformational policies and programs that 
aim to accelerate innovation and increase the rate at which research is 
translated into companies and jobs, including through entrepreneurship 
and the development of an increasingly skilled, globally competitive 
workforce. Comprised of successful entrepreneurs, innovators, angel 
investors, venture capitalists, and leaders from the nonprofit and 
academic sectors, NACIE has presented to the Secretary recommendations 
from throughout the research-to-jobs continuum regarding topics 
including improving access to capital, growing and connecting 
entrepreneurial ecosystems, increasing small business-driven research 
and development, and understanding the workforce of the future. In its 
advisory capacity, NACIE also serves as a vehicle for ongoing dialogue 
with the innovation, entrepreneurship, and workforce development 
communities.
    The final agenda for the meeting will be posted on the NACIE Web 
site at http://www.eda.gov/oie/nacie/ prior to the meeting. Any member 
of the public may submit pertinent questions and comments concerning 
the NACIE's affairs at any time before or after the meeting. Comments
