We'll not only be reviewing our organization's structure and goals, but also discuss ways to get involved leading up to 2020. Whether you're a long-time member or completely new to DA Germany, we warmly welcome all members to join us for this afternoon event. We hope to answer any questions you may have and have a lively, productive discussion with each other. 

In order to actively participate in the event you will need a computer with an internet connection as well as a working microphone. 

Please RSVP to the event if you'd like to attend. Once we've received your RSVP, we will send you the login link. We hope many of you are able to join us!
