    1. Is this directionally getting close to what people are expecting?

      1. Each team will send their slides to Tom and Sharon - be sure to make sure the backup slides only those you want to share with reviewer - Tom and Sharon will send to the reviewers

      2. concerns?

        1. there was some emailing that it was too long and some slides were not hitting desired content

        2. Team highlights and Program Wide Goals along with associated data - this is all that should go in there - focus on shared program pieces

          1. program wide goals should also include a definition of the goal so we know everyone is targeting the right thing (us and reviewers)

      3. recommend program structure - goal - then highlights for presentation - trim down by a few slides if possible

    2. Stephen - Review is May 8 and 9
