Join the NHED Title Programs Listserv
The NHED Title Programs Listserv is for Title Program Coordinators to have a place to communicate and collaborate with each other and crowd source information and ideas! Subscription is voluntary, and you can adjust your settings and password once you join. NHED communication with the field will still go through the NHED Title Program Coordinators and the contacts for their individual grants to make sure everyone is reached. This is an opportunity for LEA coordinators to communicate, ask questions, and collaborate with each other along with NHED folks. We can all grow our programs stronger by working together.
