OBSERVE, EDUCATE, ADVOCATE: ACT LOCALLY

This virtual workshop will be presented via Zoom at no charge to members of Leagues in Michigan.

You’ll be asked to choose topics for two conversations and one breakout session. The conversations are small, informal groups sharing information (think of those great conversations you might have during meal breaks or in the hallway). The breakout session is a bit more formal learning session where experienced Leaguers share best practices. 

We look forward to seeing you virtually at this informative and fun event! 

Must register by Apri 22, 2022.
