2018 Winter Regional Meeting

MEETING SUMMARY

MATERIALS

PHOTOS

January was packed with great training opportunities across the state. We were hosted by Literacy Forsyth in Cumming, Literacy Volunteers of Tifton-Tift County in Tifton, and Monroe County ACE in Forsyth.

At each of these meetings we reviewed State CLCP updates, discussed future annual reporting plans, showcased a new profile resource, and shared group successes, challenges, and planning in a community of practice format.

Across all three meetings, we had 32 attendees, which included CLCP directors, support staff, Technical College representatives, and interested community partners.

Thanks for helping us kick off our new model of quarterly training meetings. We're looking forward to the next round to be held this summer.
