The purpose of these virtual open forums is for Underserved Grantees to have an opportunity to meet and increase connections with other Underserved Grantees by having open and honest conversations about the impact of current issues, events, and other topics of interest as it relates to the Underserved-funded work.

The ALSO Underserved TA team will facilitate the discussions, but this space is for Grantees and any participation by the Underserved Team will be limited. Open Forums are not recorded. 

Please remember to use the most updated version of Zoom to give yourself full access to all the Zoom functions available. You can review this resource to familiarize yourself with pinning a participant's video and adjusting the video layout in a Zoom meeting. If you have any questions or need assistance to access Zoom, please reach out to the Underserved TA Team at underservedtaproject@also-chicago.org. Please contact us if you would like to join us before the start of a session to troubleshoot any accessibility issues.
