New meeting formats
Starting October, we will have two types of meetings: Advanced (every 4th Thursday of the month) & Standard (every 2nd Thursday of the month). First-time guests are encouraged to attend the Standard meetings. Meetings held on the 4th Thursday are geared towards more advanced speakers, without the role introductions, and with more of a focus on evaluations as well as skill-building games.
