time to answer any questions you might have about sharing Vroom tools and resources. Because Vroom was designed to be owned, adopted, and truly driven by others, intentionally developed to layer onto existing programs or service models, I would also like to
open the forum to hear directly from you! We would love to hear if you are actively sharing Vroom with the families you support and if you are planning to share Vroom in the future. If you have faced any challenges along the way, we want to hear that too.
We believe that you are the experts on the ground; we hope to learn from you and we hope that it can be an opportunity for peer learning as well.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
