In August and September of 2023, we held sessions to gather feedback on policy changes. Our aim was to have a dialogue with the diverse communities we serve.

• We held nine community engagement sessions and five culturally-specific sessions. DeYoung Consulting were the facilitators and notetakers for these sessions. They encouraged conversations and documented community thoughts and opinions.
