If you have recommendations for this year's agenda and/or you are
willing to assist in planning the agenda, please contact Audrey at
adesj...@uoregon.edu. Similar to last year, each meeting will be
comprised of participants from states located in two of the six RRC
regions. Please review the list below to identify your state's region.
Each state is encouraged to bring up to three people, which includes
your external evaluator.
In the event you are unable to attend the meeting for your particular
region, but you can attend an alternate regional event, please contact
us in advance so we can ensure accommodations. Once meeting sites and
hotel contracts are finalized, an announcement with links to
registration and lodging reservations will be emailed and posted to the
website.
