8:00 Breakfast on your own
9:15 Arrive at Museum
9:30 Reviewing and Refining the Action Center Components recommended on the Day 1

Each group will identify one or more stakeholders that are directly involved with addressing a societal issue. Identify the various ways that you (as a stakeholder) would learn of, engage with, and benefit from association with the Action Center, and vice versa. Draw a figure or diagram documenting these, and likely other, connections.
