WEEKLY MEETINGS
Weekly Community Call: It was so exciting to see so many new people — as well as our familiar faces, of course — at least week’s Tuesday Community Call at 11 am ET on MSTeams. This Tuesday, leaders from our PLP/PLE, CDM, HADES and Data Quality working groups will provide brief updates on what is currently happening in their groups, as well as objectives and key results planned for 2021.
This should be a great session that provides a feel around several areas of our community. We hope you join us again (or for the first time!). You can use this link for the call, or find it and recordings from previous sessions on our Community Calls page.
