\n2. What work is already underway?
\n3. What shared work can inform and unite us?
\n4. How can we deepen our connection?

Individuals attending the meeting are asked to attempt to rejoin the meeting using the same meeting link. If the meeting is unable to reconvene within 20 minutes\, the meeting will be automatically terminated.
