                            Hi [Liaison]
                            We are excited to meet with you on [day of meeting] to present our findings at the halfway point of the accessibility study.

                            The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
                            1.) Welcome/Introduction
                            2.) Status Update
                            3.) Findings Presentation
                            4.) Discussion
                            5.) Review Next Steps and Timeline

                            We aim to have a productive discussion, and we find it's more successful after leaders have had a moment to read through and reflect instead of hearing the information for the first time. Can you please share the attached document with the leadership team and ask them to review it before we meet? We will bring physical copies on Thursday.

                            Does the meeting room have a projector and screen? It's not strictly necessary, but we want to be prepared.
                            Update project lead with the response on available tech for the meeting.
