Instructions:

1- Rate the topics in order of priority/importance: out of 8 topics, chose 4 that we should focus on and rate them from 1 to 4, with 1 being the highest priority for you.

2- Keep in mind that immediate return to work issues can be separate from long term issues such as office space. If you think that some of these issues can be delegated to a project for next year, label them as “P”
