Here are time markers that can help you jump to different parts of the video
- Start – Intro and presentation by Adam Liebowitz, CFF Director
- 23:35 – Hearing from alumni
- 39:15 – Combined Q&A
- 39:15 – Do we need to have a clear goal in our application about what we want to do moving forward?
- 45:25 – If we wear many hats and have multiple roles/orgs, how should we represent that on the application? Is there one that is best?
- 47:25 – If you have a model you’ve been working with historically, but are testing out new iterations, should you apply with new model you’re launching or older tested model?
- 52:10 – Are the links you are putting in the chat going to be shared separately somewhere else?
- 52:45 – I work for two organizations. I founded a small business and work for a university. Should I focus on just one for my application? Or any way to encompass it all?
- 54:30 – What are the days of the week and times for the different sessions?
- 56:40 – Do you consider state government a funder in terms of compensation for participants?
- 59:20 – Reminders and closing
