These include points on Community Issue, Motivation, Why, and Need; Project/program idea, Target Audience has been identified. Among these points we need to work on identifying partners to support our program beyond the duration of this grant i.e. iterations, and identifying short, medium and long-term goals. Besides, we have written Innovation, motivation, why, empathy and the UVP statement. On the planning side, our team has finalized the dates and reserved the venues for the conference. We also have had 3 meetings and identified the topics which will be presented at the two locations of the conference. At this point we are identifying and finalizing the panel group for the topics. Significant Results: ● We have identified venues for our conference, and have finalized the dates.
