March Newsletter

Looking forward to seeing all of you at the March 12 LCC Meeting. We have an interesting agenda. 

There are a couple of changes that we are going to make based on the recommendations of the Advocacy Working Group. You will notice that the time of the meeting has went back to our original time in order to maintain more of a workshop setting. It is important that more perspectives be included in our discussions, but that has been difficult with limited time. 

If you're new to the LCC or bring a guest, you will be entered into a Swag Bag Giveaway!
