Dear Operating Team,
Thank you so much to those of you who were able to join our second Operating Team call on Monday evening. I know a lot of you were still wrapping up from the Strengthening the Roots Convergence, so we understand that some of you couldn’t make it. We hope all of you had a fun and enlightening time. The call was full of new and exciting updates! All of you are excited about our new plan for CSSC and it shows.
For those of you who were not able to join the call, please take the time to read through this email and the attached notes from the call to make sure you know about the progress of your fellow Operating Team colleagues. If you did not get a chance to do so before the call, please send an update about your work to the entire Operating Team so that we can all stay up to date with your work. Also, please reach out to other members of the team as necessary and contact Ryan or Pam if you need support in your roles.
The next Operating Team call will be on February 28th at 7pm. An agenda will be sent out early next week.
Here are some highlights and kudos from the call:
