Webinar Series - OpenLMIS Governance Committee (Hosted by Resonance)

The Resonance team is hosting three webinars, which will take place virtually from late May through mid-June. The webinars will be treated like focus groups, where we will share information and ignite discussion. We will facilitate conversations related to the future-state of OpenLMIS and ask specific questions that align to either Customer, Product, or Governance, depending on the specific webinar. While these themes will help to narrow the focus of our discussions, there will be some natural overlap and participants are asked to try to stay within the thematic focal point of each discussion. Please sign up freely, based on how you think you can best contribute; as there is no obligation to align to your respective OpenLMIS committees. Using the instructions below, please sign up by Friday, May 24th. We look forward to your participation! 

If you have any questions about the content or logistics of the webinars, or are unsure which you should join, please email Kim at kcouri@resonanceglobal.com.

To maximize the quality of our discussion, participation will be capped at eight attendees per webinar. Sign up is available on a first-come, first-served basis and we ask that you add your name by Friday, May 24th.
