Chronological Schedule of Fall 2006 – Spring 2008 Professional Development Events
(as of October 1, 2007)

The VCCS now offers peer group meetings throughout the year, with timing to be determined by a quorum of the planning committee of the group.  If you would like to volunteer to be on a planning committee, please contact Nancy Harris at the email address below and she’ll put you in touch with your peers. We look forward to working with you to make sure your meeting is a success on all counts and hope to hear from you soon.
