2018 MNAFEE Fall Regional Workshops gave coordinators a chance to connect
Attendees said,
“I received many comments from those attending that they really appreciated having a chance to connect with other coordinators. Many of the participants were discussing similar challenges and sharing information about where they can find resources.”
“Many of us utilize wiki site information but were shown how to go further into the website and we learned a lot!"
Thank you, Sara Chovan, Mike Brown, and Betty Uehling, for facilitating - and thank you to our participants for sharing your wisdom and experience!
