If we want to do this on the 19th without totally taking over our meeting, I can see a couple of options:<div><br></div><div>1. We do this 5-6pm, before our official meeting starts.</div><div>2. We ask them to join at 7pm. That gives us an hour 6-7pm to do the rest of our meeting, and then people who want to stay for the whole SDOT thing can just stay on till 8.</div><div><br></div><div>Alternatively, we can invite them to an upcoming BATS meeting instead.</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>- Katie<br><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On May 20, 2025, at 12:02 PM, Noah Williams <noah@buildyourmetro.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr"></div><div dir="ltr">I’d be interested in joining as well! </div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 20, 2025, at 10:09, Tony D'Amico <tony.damico@live.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
