And so the the next report is gonna be coming out.
2:10:20
Can you give us a preview of what the next step are how how we're activating all this exciting capacity?
Young Kwon
2:10:28
Yeah.
2:10:29
On the second report, we do we conducted the 2 focus groups and really hone in on how we can collaborate with the CEOs moving forward.
2:10:40
It really we kind of narrowed down a little bit on our strategy and our collaboration.
2:10:48
One of the most exciting area that we wanted to highlight is we are exploring launching a review the request for information with the a commission of Civic Engagement and the commission of racial equity.
2:11:06
We are hoping to utilize to invest in the CBO's capacity in this front and also leverage some of their strength in this area.
2:11:17
So we welcome when once the RFI launches, we welcome anybody any CBOs to respond to those.
2:11:27
We are also exploring ways to establish language access training fund.
2:11:33
We have heard from in the focus group that CBOs are providing trainings.
2:11:39
They are interested bilingual, and multilingual community members in this field.
2:11:45
However, there's no investment in the training for the CBOs to do this work.
2:11:51
So we are looking in two ways we can help invest in this area.
