In this podcast we review the "Forum Must Have's" as per the new Forum Framework document.As our EO community has grown, so has the different types of the Forum experience. I've found that having a base, a framework to come back to, immensely helpful in measuring not only the success of the group, but also it's direction. Highlighting issues that may come up in the future is half the battle.
