Agenda
We'll be talking with Eric Meeks from UCSF, about their "in-reach" strategies, meaning how to reach out to people at our own institutions.
If time, we may revisit the idea of I-Fest or something like it this year including ideas for location, date, time, duration?
This is an open discussion for anyone who's interested!
