That are often times not at the table for our public process. Our overarching goal for this activity two was to ask people to connect their environmental values to our programs, and think critically about where we could improve and overlap. And now i would like to introduce my colleague asia meshack, our senior strategist, and outreach and communications. Shell be talking about key themes, our takeaways from this. Thanks, doug, and the rest of the team for that explanation there. Hay the ground work for a bit of what i am going to cover which is to give you the high level takeaways that we extracted from our conversations with the Community Members.

Some sit with you and your authority and some are with the California Public utilities commission. I wonder if you can give us an insight as to how the state agencies talk to one another.
