Hello all! We're so sorry for the delay with today's virtual forum. We're running into some technical difficulties, and we're unable to log in to our account to start the meeting. Currently we're contacting zoom support. Apparently billion dollar companies can't afford human representatives... Please forgive us for the delay, and we hope you can join us on a rescheduled meeting that we'll announce momentarily. Thank you!
