Regional Meetings:
In an effort to update our contact information, we would like to know the name and telephone number for each regional meeting coordinator.
Additionally, it would be useful for us to know which high schools, career technical schools and community colleges participate in that region's meetings.
Fall Meeting:
At the present time, we are planning a fall meeting for ONLY new coordinators and those seeking designation in the future. We are looking forward to scheduling a spring meeting when we can provide all of you with information on the progress of the advisory committee.
