9. Charge for Subgroups Define groups’ short and long-term goals
What (if anything) will enable the group to declare victory?
What products/resources do you want to create by the September 24th meeting?
What are the steps and the timeline that will enable your group to create those resources?
Do you need to recruit more active participants if so how?

10. NFRI Partnership Thinking about the partnership as a whole:
What is OUR long term goal?
How can this effort be sustained?
Does it need to? (Or until when or what happens?)
How can we highlight disseminate the progress we’ve made?
Idea: Session in September to share specific changes funders and institutions have implemented
What else?
