Member Led Discussion:
• Bill suggested trying break out groups in lieu of the member led discussion as no discussion topics were put forward from members. Break out sessions were randomly assigned for a 10 minute session. Consensus was that the break out sessions worked well and that the break out rooms is a good format for being able to continue socialization and networking via Zoom. A second and third session was completed.
