Lead a SMA Town Hall

SMA has launched a series of free virtual meetings as a way for our members to remain connected and to address current issues of importance. The purpose of these meetings will be to connect our members virtually, to give them an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas around a series of current topics. There will be a thought leader for each meeting who will moderate the conversation. There will be no presentation, rather the moderator will ask thought provoking questions and encourage discussion among the participants. The meetings will last 30 minutes.
