Friendly reminder of tomorrow’s 7:00-9:00pm board meeting. Agenda is included below and @BoardMembers should also have a Lucid Meetings email with a link to the meeting (if you’ve received an invite to the meeting, please do consider clicking the RSVP so that I know folks have seen the agenda/documents. 
) Any updates to agenda items will be updated in Lucid, and I’ll try to update them here as well, but no promises, so board members, please check Lucid for the most up to date version.
As always, guests are welcome. There is a new feature of this agenda in the form of an Executive Session were we’ll be asking non-Board Members to step out… just so no one’s super surprised by that.
