Meeting Cadence Last year, we did a survey for the Unit Web Coordinator group, asking for input in several areas, and meeting cadence was one of the main areas we received feedback on Based on this year, where several months ended up being simple email updates, we will try switching from a monthly cadence to every other month Should allow for meetings to be worthwhile for all attendees in terms of content covered and time involved, and ensure content updates are meaningful
