SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    PBS is seeking to build productive relationships with its industry 
partners by seeking industry input and contributions to allow for more 
meaningful and productive interactions during industry day events. PBS 
invites industry representatives from the leasing community to share 
thoughts, major topics of interest, and challenges that your company or 
industry faces with regard to GSA's leasing program. PBS intends to use 
the information gathered from this Roundtable event to inform the 
planning of its GSA Leasing Forum scheduled for February 24, 2020.
    GSA is particularly interested in responses to the following 
questions:
     What topics would be of interest to you during a GSA 
Leasing Forum?
     Are there any specific challenges your organization faces 
in regards to GSA leasing?
     What is GSA Leasing doing well and what could GSA Leasing 
do better?

Format

    A Moderator will pose questions to the Roundtable speakers who will 
respond. Virtual meeting attendees will have the opportunity to send in 
comments/responses regarding each question through a moderated chat
