Highlights

Welcome back to our Jayhawk Flex Newsletter! In the past several weeks, we've been restructuring the Newsletter to fit with our emerging workgroup structure. As the Jayhawk Flex project shifts from decisions-heavy cross-functional work to design & build work, we've formed new workgroups to address our critical project areas. 

See below for the workgroups that have already been established. Over the next month, we'll include additional workgroups as they are launched.
