You have 90 seconds to write down:a. Entrée –What is the biggest/most valuable thing you bring to the table in the context of this group?

i.e.: My organization has many resources to support homeless outreach.

b. Side – What is another skill/ability/knowledge base that you bring to the table that could be useful to the group? i.e.: Skilled in helping the unemployed improve their employability.

c. Dessert – What is something personal background/experience that you as an individual bring to the table? This should be something beyond your professional role/organization. i.e.: I am a first generation college graduate; this experience informs my understanding and drive toward education attainment in the working class.
