In an attempt to foster a meaningful conversation, discussants will be given a question that allows the group to explore the topic in ways that they decide. It will be up to the group to determine anything not explicitly prescribed: groups impacted, individuals and organizations involved in the solution, the criteria used to judge the severity of problems or the success of solutions, et cetera. Here is the planned schedule:
Be the GOAT; Win the Boat!
We hope to host your team on Saturday, February 1!
