Starting Thursday May 2, users will have the ability to ask Mr. Buffett a question on his Levo League profile through an Ask A Question functionality. The first round of questions submitted will be answered during a live Q&A discussion with Mr. Buffett and Caroline Ghosn, CEO and Co-founder of Levo League. The Q&A will stream live at levoleague.com/office-hours, and also through social media outlets.
