Caucus “: a closed meeting of a group of persons belonging to the same political party or faction usually to select candidates or to decide on policy; also : a group of people united to promote an agreed-upon cause” (Merriam-Webster).
It was asked in the meeting at the Denver Conference if the word caucus really fits our current activities and mission. I believe this definition does and I also believe our mission is still relevant. I would like to open the discussion to this topic however and the possibility of fine-tuning our mission.
