New Webinar Available: Sustaining Your PSN Initiative
Sustaining Your PSN Initiative's webinar addresses this issue – how do we sustain our PSN team, our PSN strategies, and the lessons we learn in PSN beyond the grant end date? We started thinking about this topic as we developed training to support effective implementation of PSN. The good news is that many of the same steps that lead to effective implementation are also key steps in sustaining your initiative over time. This is the focus of the Sustaining Your PSN Initiative webinar.
