The NNA-CO Convergence Working Groups have completed their formal word period. However, efforts across these themes continue to move forward via group co-leads, members, individual projects, and other organizations. Read the Year 2 reports to find out if there may be a future or ongoing activity that you can connect with, or consider contacting a former co-lead or group member directly.
