AMIBA <http://AMIBA.net> is launching a few initiatives to help us all learn and connect. They want to set up working groups or "cohorts" from the same industry or setting to vet best practices, identify emerging issues, etc.  And, they are also developing a series of webinars, Ask Me Anythings and other easy-to-use content. Please complete this quick survey to give them feedback on those two issues: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WX7DZTK
