Hi. Apologies for the last-minute date change and the oopsy of an empty message going out. Something came up that made us have no choice but to change the time, and when I was fixing it, it went out prematurely. I really hope people can still make it. It will be recorded, but we're hoping to have a discussion.

I know how much everybody enjoyed having Jennifer Curry Jahnke come and speak a few meetings back, and we're lucky to have her and Sam coming to speak this time. I hope to see you there.

Wednesday, August 2, 2023, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm ET
