Outreach Network Monthly Newsletter

What great trainings we’ve had so far! I certainly have learned something new at each and every one, and I hope you have too. We recently had our first networking event since the Network’s kick-off in October. It was invaluable to hear from organizations in our community and have the opportunity to connect. I’m excited for all of April’s trainings and our networking luncheon at the end of the month (lunch will be provided). Reach out any time with questions, comments, or concerns.
