We will be holding our next NGCP Collaboration Institute in San Francisco on August 3 and 4. We will be hosted by The Children's Creativity Museum<http://creativity.org/>, located in San Francisco. This Institute will be focused on the key elements of the NGCP Collaboration Model. We are welcoming new convening organizations from California and New York, new leadership team members from other Collaboratives, and potential leadership team members from new states. We are currently finalizing the agenda and will distribute the registration link and travel information on Wednesday, June 22. We anticipate that plenary activities will begin with lunch on August 3 and end early afternoon on August 4. We are designing a productive, intense, collaboration experience! We have very limited travel funding available, not enough for every Collaborative; however, you may find this a valuable use for your own organizational funds. As we have in the past, a scholarship application will be available to leverage the amount of funding we have. There will be a small registration fee collected to assist with event costs. If you have new leadership team members, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce them to the NGCP Collaboration Model. More details next week. We hope to see many of you in San Francisco in August! Karen Karen Peterson, Chief Executive Officer The National Girls Collaborative http://www.ngcproject.org @ngcproject
