<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">We are hard at work preparing for our
<b>virtual Annual Meeting scheduled for <a href="outlook-data-detector://19">Monday-Tuesday</a>, <a href="outlook-data-detector://20">March 30-31</a></b>!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Due to varying time zones (Hawaii to East Coast), we are shortening the length of the meeting each day. Instead of 8-9 hours, the meetings will run about 6 hours (with breaks). We also want to make the time as
interactive as possible to avoid Zoom-induced zone out. To that end, we have several requests for preparing for state report presentations and participation in the meeting. <o:p></o:p></p>

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">For presenters, we ask that you prepare a 5 minute state report presentation, and record it over PowerPoint slides (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhPdEWQhihE&feature=youtu.be">see awesome how-to

on that might be of interest to others. <span style="font-size:12.0pt">In the past, these have been great ways to quickly learn about programs in other states, and share what you are doing.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">We will post the videos of the state reports to a Box site and the

RP meeting, we will be asking each of you to comment on the state reports - for example, on highlights, common themes, common challenges, and beyond. We are working on ways to have a dynamic meeting that will be more interesting and keep us awake! <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">In the words of Karen Launchbaugh: “While this might be extra work, think of the time you are saving not flying/ driving to Tucson”!<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
