The informal, interactive gatherings will provide a chance for questions, dialogue and feedback.

The meetings will take place on Zoom at 7 p.m. Central Time. Participants will be encouraged to submit questions using Zoom’s Q&A feature. Registration is required and can be completed through the links below:
