The CAEP Office and CAEP TAP, in collaboration with CASAS and OTAN, launched the CAEP Regional Network meetings to discuss the successes, challenges and opportunities presented by COVID-19 and agency closures.

The kick-off meeting and the Region 1 meeting were extremely engaging and provided an opportunity for all to share how they are navigating the impacts of COVID-19 within their agencies and districts. There are still five more regional meetings! Register to attend any of the available meetings and be part of the conversation. Additionally, view and share the archived meetings to see what has been discussed.
