During this process, we're probably going to be too busy to update everyone on everything, all the time. Instead, we'll be condensing everything into a newsletter style email for anyone who wants to keep up with all the gory details!
If you're unsure about something, need information on a topic we've not covered here, or have any questions, just ask! Open, two-way conversation is going to be vital for all of us during this journey.
