  - Step 2: Seek a path forward that is informed by restorative practices
Board discussions should include all voices equally.
- Share your perspective on an issue when appropriate. Be mindful of leaving space for other voices. Do not dominate the discussion. Do not talk over or interrupt other speakers. Avoid cross-talk; wait to be recognized by the chair before speaking.
