Hello IdPy board members,

I recently noticed that we are going to have two members of our board roll off this year and we haven't met at all (that i know of). I'd like to schedule a quick board virtual meeting before the end of the year so that we can be ready for an in-person meeting at TIIME in February.

Laura Paglione will be taking over from Heather Flanagan to help support the governance effort under the NIAID.

Jameelah Kallo will be reaching out to find the best time to meet (hopefully there is one).

Please let me know if you are going to be at TechEX. I'll be there myself it would be good to connect and maybe we can schedule the meeting during TechEx.

Cheers,

Chris
