# 2025 August 17: UMNA Leadership Confab

## Background

Every few weeks the UMNA leadership team meets casually to talk about goings on in Upper Monroe and plan for the future. Participants bring questions, concerns and ideas for discussion and consideration.

These conversations don't necessarily follow a formal agenda although very often the group works from a list of topics and it isn't uncommon for decisions to result from the discussions. Occasionally guests from outside the neighborhood are invited to join the conversation depending on the topics to be covered.

***
