What to expect at the Walkabouts:
Walkabouts provide the opportunity to meet the nominees and hear from them first-hand.
Due to the large number of attendees expected at the Walkabouts, the Transition Committee has arranged for questions to be submitted at the event. If you have a question you’d like to ask, note cards will be available to submit questions for the possibility of being asked during the afternoon sessions.
Attendees will be seated in several breakout rooms; nominees will circulate individually from room to room for each session, allowing attendees to hear their comments and answer questions. Each session will last approximately 25 minutes.
For those unable to attend, or concerned about weather and travel conditions
:
Watch Live Sessions from the Walkabouts at 2 p.m. Each Day
We look forward to seeing you this weekend!
The Transition Committee
