Mark your calendars for these upcoming People Network calls (Zoom details at the end). People Network tracks are hosting PEARC25 Recap discussions. We also highlight other calls from our RCD ecosystem peers, as these events touch many, if not all, in our community.
For handy calendar entries, try the CaRCC People Network Calendar (GCal view; integrate). If you’re not on our mailing lists, you can join here and join our Slack channels.
