AGENDA:
| 6:30 pm ET | NEW! Member Meet-up! Join Zoom before the meeting starts and you can talk with old friends, meet new friends, and have a good time. How it works: when you join the main room, you will see options to join breakout rooms. You can invite people to join you in one of those rooms, or you can dip in and out of conversations already happening in those rooms. It is purposely unstructured so you can socialize with fellow members. Give it a try and send your feedback to Phil Frank here. |
