About our working groups
Our virtual working groups emphasize active, group discussion and best practice sharing, and therefore are kept relatively small (15-25 participants) to allow for broad participation. Given the limited size of each session, we ask that you only register for a session if you will be able to attend. Prior to the session, attendees should give some thought to the questions included in the description, so they are prepared to share with the group. We also strongly prefer that participants be on camera during the session to allow for more engaging interaction.
