COORDINATORS NEWSLETTER ● JANUARY 2017

|

Happy New Year Coordinators! We hope your 2017 is off to a great start. As we embark upon a new era, the winds of change are among us both socially and politically. In order to stimulate a national conversation around these issues, please join us on Wednesday, February 22nd, 7:30 PM EST for our first Coordinators Network Twitter Chat. Our focus will be educational equity, the new political climate and the impact on our work using the hashtag #CSchat. We hope you can join us.
