Hybrid Meeting Discussion Moana will ask who wants to meet hybrid be notifying what will need to happen with changing logistics. -Anchor location - City-County Building; Moana will always be at the anchor location to represent the team per legal requirement. -Quarterly in-person meetings – in favor of this in the interest of building comradery, not necessarily in-person all the time but sometimes.
