Budget Proposal Review workshop (Governance, Research & No Category) - Western Hemisphere
Agenda:
This workshop will begin reviewing proposals submitted to the 2025 budget process in the governance, research & no categories. The workshop will cover some baseline information about the category and host breakout discussions to review and discuss proposals. Committee members, subject matter experts and those who submitted proposals are invited to participate and offer insights to DReps.
Each vendor will have 5 minutes to pitch their proposal, followed by 5 minutes for Q&A. This ensures we stay on track and are able to get through all of the proposals.
At this session, we’ll be prioritizing proposals within the following categories: Governance, Research & No Category.
Proposals that don’t fall within these categories, may present if time permits, after all pitches for Governance, Research & No Category have been completed.
