You have the option to document this meeting in person or remotely, though we recommend you go in person as the remote audio/visual quality is often not great for new or one-off hybrid meetings. City Bureau reporter Sarah Conway is planning to be in attendance.

If you choose to attend in person, email Cristin.Evans@illinois.gov. to RSVP. An additional hour will be added to your total assignment hours. You may be asked to provide government-issued photo ID and to go through a metal detector.

If you choose to document remotely, you can access it via WebEx. Never post a videoconference link on social media, as this can invite bots into the meeting. Instead, you can direct people interested in tuning in to message you privately for the link.

This is the second meeting of the Task Force on Missing and Murdered Chicago Women, which was established by legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly.
