Topic Schedule

For those who were with us last week, we discussed various topics we wanted to consider for upcoming meetings. Below is an initial topic schedule for us to further discuss.

There are countless topics we could present, but this is a starting point for us. Any additional suggestion or adjustments you'd like to see, use this thread to discuss. This list is also posted on the chapter's Facebook group.

After we get the topics mostly finalized, we'll need help to identify and coordinate guest speakers and presenters for the topics.

Thanks everyone. Have at it.
