Proficiency Table Expectations 6-12

 Hi All-

Based off of feedback from our KEA Meeting, please see the video below for information and expectations for our proficiency table writing and vetting. Our expectation is to work towards completion of the tables when possible, with vetting happening upon completion if you are able. However, please know that with everything going on, vetting may need to take place next year.
