Hello,
The IT Services team has created 10 information drop-in sessions for the resource account sponsor community to ask any questions they may have regarding their respective account(s) and about the process moving forward, whether your respective account(s) should remain active, deactivated, transferred to a shared mailbox account, or transitioned to another type of non-personal account.
Please attend one of the sessions that best suits your availability.
