This is not a program set up for you to attend. It is an event for you to be an essential part of, and it is a gathering for us to learn from each other and help form a vision for our future in North America. There are many walkable hotels nearby, and we can try to help with other housing if needed.
More details will be coming, but we wanted you to know about this so you might save the date and plan accordingly. We welcome any and all suggestions which you think would make the event more useful and encouraging!
Hope you can come!
