Save the Date - We will be holding our next NGCP Collaboration Institute in Seattle December 3, 4, and 5. We are currently finalizing a hotel room block and the agenda and will distribute the registration link and travel information on Monday, September 28, 2015. There will be several additional trainings for Network Projects as well as welcoming Arkansas as a new Collaborative. We anticipate that plenary activities will begin the afternoon of December 3 and end on Saturday, December 5 afternoon; however, some participants may arrive earlier for specific trainings. ALL activities will be completed by 5:00pm on Saturday, December 5. We have some travel funding available, but not enough for every Collaborative. Collaboratives may use seed funding or mini-grant funding to support leads and/or new leadership team members for travel to the Collaboration Institute, if available. 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 on Monday. We hope to see many of you in December in Seattle!
