Meeting Agenda

High-Level Agenda

Meeting Goal

The goal of this meeting is to strengthen the MLRP grantee community of practice’s ability to deliver meaningful, durable multibenefit land repurposing projects by reflecting on what implementation is teaching us, learning from one another and projects in practice, and translating those reflections and learnings into practical adaptations that can improve project delivery and demonstrate the value of MLRP.

Day 1 (10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) prioritizes conversation and exchange across grantee teams as we reflect on implementation progress and challenges, learn from what's happening on the ground, and work through shared and active project delivery needs.

Day 2 (9:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m.) takes Day 1's learning into the field, with visits to MLRP project sites in Pajaro Valley and opportunities to hear from local partners about multibenefit land repurposing in practice.
