Workshop Summary We ask that each team of conveners write a short Workshop Summary documenting the major activities and outcomes of the workshop to be posted on the website. What are the big takeaways that other people should know about? What did the participants gain from the workshop? Make use of experiences from the group discussions and notes. This report will be added to the workshop website and, along with the Program page, serve as a permanent record of what happened at the workshop.

Workshop Support “Zone Defense” There will be one support person in each building where afternoon workshops are happening. So, they will be supporting several workshops at the same time. The support person will collect the attendance sheets after the workshops have begun and will collect the evaluations at the conclusion of the workshops. The support person will also be able to help you post materials on your Program page if you need assistance.
