Once we have had a little time to reflect after discussions, we’ll come together again to dive a little deeper and, again, share our thoughts. If you weren’t able to be part of a discussion group, you won’t want to miss this town hall. Last year more than 25% of members abstained from voting on Article II. We want everyone to be able to confidently cast their vote.
