In light of the tragic event which occurred in Las Vegas on Sunday night, it is our wish you consider the NGCP community an extension of your own, and a tool for collaboration in the effort to make this world a better and more equitable place for everyone. UPDATED MEETING POLL: We are administering another Doodle Poll<https://doodle.com/poll/itwr97r3ahxc3akz> for our fall Champions Board Meeting. We have new members and the need to accommodate time zones for international attendees. Even if you participated in the last poll, at your earliest convenience, please complete this poll, as there are new days and times. COLLABORATION INSITUTE: We hosted another successful Collaboration Institute in Seattle, WA September 17th - 19th, with representatives from Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Montana, Texas, and Washington to share and learn about the collaborative model. Embedded in the Institute was the Pacific Northwest Girls Collaborative Forum, where we featured our iconic Girl Panel: Perspectives on STEM<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=luiqmo8ab.0.0.vdohsxbab.0&id=preview&r=3&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fngcproject%2Fvideos%2F1620708921336671%2F>.
