We still have approximately $20,000 available in Professional Development funds and would like to work with you to get you to a conference or learning opportunity that could benefit the work you do. All we ask in exchange is that you share with us what you learned and how this will benefit the work you do in helping to increase healthy outcomes of the people in our region.
