Essence Project Interviews

Katrina informed the group that additional dates have been added to the scheduling link and that people are being invited again to pick a time.  When people start signing up, Katrina will put out an email to see who can help with the interviews.

March Event

The group set the date of April 6, 2019 for the next Common Principles, Uncommon Lives.  We talked about what the vetting process should be for next year's panelists- are we giving people who were asked but were unable to this year a slot on next year's panel?  It was decided that Katrina would start working on a list for September's meeting, so that we can vote on who to invite.  Julie is going to approach Cara Stadler again to see if she would be able to do 4/6/19
