<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Shannon – Hilary, Beth, Marilyn and I are meeting January 4 to take a pulse check on the emerging design. The actual after chat dialogues will be highly organic and iterative based on the ideas and reflections that emerge. Given the
need to be acute, awake and present in the experience, there is little need to do any advance planning other than being ready with the zoom capability to move people easily in and out of break out rooms.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
