The STScI Town Hall will serve as the centerpiece for our AAS 246 presence. We will report on the status of our existing and upcoming missions, and describe new opportunities designed to advance astrophysics in the 2020s. In particular, we will present updates on Hubble and Webb operations in light of the current severe budget constraints. We will describe the science opportunities afforded by Roman, with the first Call for Proposals scheduled for release in the fall. We will save time for discussion to receive community input regarding new capabilities and answer questions about our activities in the coming year.
