Forum Homework:

In preparation for Friday's Forum, please review the Breakout Session Fact Sheets that correspond to your breakout session assignments. Again, in order to accommodate the large numbers of participants at the event, we may have had to change your selection. We apologize for any inconvenience, but remember:

1. All of the focus areas overlap to some extent and your input is vital to the overall process;
2. At the Forum, we will be announcing a tool where we will post documents, findings, etc. and you will be able to provide input online throughout the remainder of the process;
3. There will be additional planning meetings scheduled over the next 3 months. Keep tuned to this webpage for more information and updates.
