Workshop #1: MCDVS Networking Session- Meet your fellow MCDVS Members
Here is your chance to get the word out about your organization. Whether you are a current, former, or future member of MCDVS we would like to give you the opportunity to showcase your Organization and its program(s). Come prepared to share your information. We are asking that each participant, if they wish, bring a small table display and be prepared to hand out organizational materials for at least 50 people. For those who do not wish to showcase their agency, join us to learn about other local organizations and the services they provide. We look forward to seeing you on September 21st.
RSVP to MCDVS2@gmail.com by September 15th to either register as an attendee for the workshop or to reserve a table. Please note that table space is limited, so be sure to register your organization's table early!
