Hi Christopher,</div>

It was my impression that in addition to the survey we would be meeting with individual faculty members and that the DNC would be initiating these discussions. That Andrea would pair us up and assign 12- 15 faculty members for each pair to interview. I,
therefore, thought that we would be meeting with each of the chairs individually. </div>

committee) and some of us were wondering if members of the DNC might be interested in meeting with us as a group. Some members of SSPHR ‘leadership group’ have been shepherding the reorg through since the beginning and collectively there is a great deal of
corporate knowledge that the DNC would likely benefit from as we move through the nomination process.</span></p>
