Deep Dive Roundtables
Deep Dive Roundtables are topic-focused discussion groups for members to share best practices and design policy solutions on key topics across value. Meeting agendas are driven by member input and are designed to take a deeper dive into operational and policy solutions that members are facing. These are collaborative discussions and a forum for shared learning where members are encouraged to share their perspectives and react to the issues at hand.
You will need to sign up individually for each group that you would like to participate in – once you have signed up, you will receive the Zoom log-in information for the virtual meetings. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
