      1. (Cindy sent a note to Sonia)

      2. would it be worthwhile to have a discussion with larger group about results last quarterly meeting?

      3. could share presentation

      4. Could we have another closed focus group eval of the EC - we did one last December - we talked about possibly doing one again - it is an option

        1. If all of EC will be there

      5. Possibly a session with all PIs? - alignment along thoughts of role of ACO

      6. Scope of contract is evaluator of ACO - and we don’t want to get outside of that really

      7. Quantitative Comparison of effectiveness of in person meeting vs zoom meeting - survey to get specific numbers - could go along with studies after Covid and how effective Zoom is

        1. Lisa is unsure of Quantitative evaluation because it could slides into the realm of numbers may not indicate effectiveness of relationships - not to mention it is outside scope of contract - doable but may not be productive

    2. Budget Justification - needs polished

    3. John review budget with Lavanya one last time
