Starting the New Year off Right! Getting back to the basics, exploring LU/T resources, tips for building partnerships, and more.
Lead: Leah Fisher, Neighborhood Planning Program Manager
Background: Each January we typically take the opportunity to do some orientation and get to know new participants. This January we will do a refresher on roles, resources, and more.* For more veteran participants, your insight and experience will add a lot to the discussion and will support your neighbors in their work. Thank you for your contribution!
