Breakout room proposals

(The last 30 minutes is dedicated to small group discussions. Breakout room topics may arise during the course of other discussions, but feel free to propose one in advance, too!)

I would like to speak about some of the NYC chapter internal items, if possible. I'd be willing to discuss in a breakout room, if that might make the discussion process a little more easy. thanks!!! (by the way, I'm not 100% sure I can attend tonight anyway.) --Sm8900 (talk) 13:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
