Due to the public health emergency, we will not be holding ECA meetings in person. We will be shifting to virtual meetings until further notice, beginning with our April 6 meeting on Monday.
How to participate in the meeting
There are two ways to join the meeting:

Please fill out our survey in advance of the meeting.
We are hoping to get a sense for community needs and concerns in advance of the meeting because participation may be more difficult in this virtual setting—especially the first time around. It is very short! Link here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXybjYoOgjhzeQ9w9PblnHLWIMrW4eAoXH80Q1q-Lx8VOdLQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
