timely look at where metadata infrastructure stands today and what is
needed to build a stronger and more resilient ecosystem for tomorrow.

and values, ensuring effective communications, getting and maintaining
buy-in from the communities being served, and measuring progress. They will
hear from the leaders of two successful, community-led collaborations: Maurice
