Beginning in March 2024, the Education Advocacy Group and Housing Group, which were formed by RJAC and formerly met separately, will meet along with the full task force. We are experimenting with sometimes holding breakout groups for each and sometimes devoting the entire meeting to one area of focus. For more information you may contact the meeting organizer.
