Outreach Network Monthly Newsletter

The BRHD Outreach Network is off to a great start! To recap, our network kicked-off last October and we held our first official trainings in January. I’m so appreciative of those who have made time to attend our trainings and events thus far. I’m also very grateful for the feedback some of you have shared. Your feedback helps us to grow the network in ways that best supports the needs of our District’s outreach workers. No need to wait for formal feedback surveys. Please email me anytime to share your ideas. I hope to see each of you at some of our upcoming trainings and events!
