COMMITTEES or FOCUS GROUPS
Many great ideas surfaced at the meeting and the best way to proceed is by forming small groups or committees to address specific topics/events/actions. Some of the areas of focus that were discussed are listed below.
Other ideas? Talk with friends and other members and form a small group about your passion and interest. Or form a group by geographic location? We need coordinators and members for these groups. If you want to coordinate a particular committee, please email me. |
