America Connects Consortium Regional Meeting

Posted by on July 16, 2004

[posted from Stan Pokras to CTCNet-Philadelphia]

This year’s local CTCNet conference will be happening a little early. We’re meeting at the United Way on July 29th. This program will be sponsored by the America Connects Consortium. You should have already received an announcement about it through this email list.

But I want you to know that the annual meeting we have held for the past three years will take place this month instead of in September.

My thanks to Ann Nevile of CTCNet and Raphael Baker of the United Way for coordinating this meeting. And of course, I want to thank Steve Rockwell and Lorelei Narvaja of the United Way’s Teaming for Technology, for their commitment to the local CTCNet.

Here is Ann’s summary of the two days of conference activities.

Don’t forget to register now! The first day is free and I want to see you there!
