Hi, Everyone,

 

For anyone who’s been trying to join the free virtual CSLP Symposium today from 11:30 – 4:30, I just wanted to let you know that CSLP is using WebEx and it was supposed to allow 10,000 attendees to join but is only allowing 1000 people. Obviously this is causing big issues! CSLP apologizes for this and is working on it.

 

Register here

 

But, if you’ve registered and aren’t able to get in, the sessions are being recorded and I’ll share it with you afterward ~Sharon

What’s Great About Your Community: Extending your connections to youth and families

We’ll share examples and provide an opportunity for you to explore your own community’s assets and to get feedback from others.
