Quarterly Learning Community Participation
Four times throughout the year the monthly Collective meeting will be designed to offer shared learning on a particular topic of interest. These meetings will be open up to a greater Learning Community and will be provided free of charge to anyone interested in attending.
In the case a monthly commitment is not feasible for you, but you are interested in quarterly Learning Community participation, you can simply sign up here to be on our mailing list.
