Nothing to add
Program Milestone Check @John Towns (10 mins)
Action item for the awardees to update their program milestones

Agenda for Sept ACCESS Quarterly Meeting @John Towns (10 mins)
What are our goals for the meeting?
want to get finalized this week
most of the topics are surrounding EC topics - we have the opportunity to offer more interactions and pick ideas that are not normally on events like this
get more people involved and participating
Hope to talk EC items - but hopefully will lead to more interaction on that day and going forward
Alana will talk to Dave about his input suggestion for the meeting
Would like to make a plea to start the meeting at a more reasonable hour on the west coast. Can we move to a 7 or 8am PT start?, (@Shawn Strande) asks.
should we stagger people arriving - EAB - 2 hrs - starts 1 hr after this meeting starts
We need to make sure we have things to get done in that hour
Or do EAB right at the beginning?
Will see how this lays out as the agenda gets more finalized
ACO Process Improvements @John Towns (10 mins)
We are considering some improvements to the meeting process and the format these notes take - we are hoping to improve on
Tracking decisions more easily during meetings so we can find them/refer to them much more easily in the future
Make future “To Dos” more easily found and trackable to completion
Assist in meeting management by implementing a “Parking Lot” for items we need to lay aside for another meeting
Adding a mechanism for tracking attendance metrics so it is more easily evaluated and included in various reports
Provide for an Overview Dashboard for teams
Provide for an Individualized Overview Dashboard for team members
Please see this page for consideration:
Tom and Sharon -
Summary Dashboard - tagged for only things they can assist on productively
