Any OWP TCs interested in becoming active members of
any of these NWP Initiatives should let Priscilla or
me know.  We already have an active TIC network.  If
you're interested in becoming active in the Urban
Sites, Rural Sites, or ELL Network, please let me
know.  The governing board will support you if you'd
like to attend their annual conferences.
Please go to the links below to find out more about
them.
Contact me with questions.
