Goals/Agenda
Notetaker?
Review progress on action items from last meeting:

Lynette trying a google spreadsheet to organize challenges in list and feedback being gathered

Thoughts on how to move this to a decision-maker level when we have outlined the needs
Next steps and action items

A next step is to review the Challenges and identify where these challenges should get solved. Many of us “in the trenches” will have some ideas on how this can be solved, and what
This Challenges document will feed into the emerging job descriptions for Technical Coordinator and Tech Lead; In July we’ll know about the IMLS grant, and then September the project would start receiving funds.
