<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#333333">Town Hall meetings to address the NSAC charge for a new long range plan for nuclear science are being planned.<br>
<br>
There will be three Town Hall meetings in the upcoming months: Hot and Cold QCD; Nuclear Structure, Reactions and Astrophysics; and Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos. Each of the Town Halls will include six cross-cutting areas: accelerator, target
and detector science; computing; diversity, equity and inclusion; education; isotopes; and nuclear data.<br>
<br>
The DNP called for community suggestions for the Town Hall conveners. Based on these nominations the DNP Executive Committee chose four conveners for each Town Hall meeting.<br>
<br>
The Town Hall conveners who have accepted this responsibility are:<br>
Hot and Cold QCD: Bjoern Schenke (BNL), Anne Sickles (Illinois), Feng Yuan (LBNL), Xiaochao Zheng (UVA)<br>
<br>
Nuclear Structure, Reactions, and Astrophysics: Alexandra Gade (MSU), Sofia Quaglioni (LLNL), Grigory Rogachev (Texas A&M), Rebecca Surman (Notre<br>
Dame)<br>
<br>
Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos: Vincenzo Cirigliano (INT/UW), Lindley Winslow (MIT), Jon Engel (Chapel Hill), Leah Broussard (ORNL)<br>
<br>
These conveners will work with the DNP Executive Committee to form the program committee, making sure that the crosscutting areas are covered in sufficient<br>
depth.<br>
<br>
The Hot and Cold QCD Town Hall will be at MIT, 23-25 September. The website for this meeting is

<span style="color:blue">indico.mit.edu/e/QCDTownHall</span></a>. The Nuclear Structure, Reactions, and Astrophysics Town Hall will be held at ANL, 14-16 November. The Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons and Neutrinos Town Hall has yet<br>
to be scheduled but it will be in the NC Research Triangle area (Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill). While there is a ``target'' range of dates, 30 November - 15 December, no date has been set yet. The organizers are actively looking for possible venues/dates,
leaning towards 30 November - 2 December (if possible). The duration of most town hall meetings will be 2.5 days.<br>
<br>
While in person attendance is encouraged, there will be virtual options for attendance at all the town hall meetings.<br>
