Greetings Title X Grantee Agencies,
Welcome to the May 2007 RTC monthly Listserv!
We hope you all enjoyed a fun and relaxing Memorial Day weekend. As
we begin to enjoy longer days, warmer weather and the great outdoors
in New England, we here at the RTC will be planning the Title X 2007-2008
training calendar. As you all know, for the past three weeks, we have
been collecting your staff's input on the online training needs assessment
through SurveyMonkey.com. The online assessment closed this past Friday
and we have received over 140 responses. In the coming weeks we will
be in touch with each grantee agency to go over the results and begin
the training request process.
As always, we have included the month of May's article
highlights which can be found below. You can simply open the attachments
or click on the links that pertain to each topic to read more about
a particular issue. Also, please remember to check out the announcements,
meetings and other calendar reminders at the end of this e-mail.
We know that you are all very busy providing much needed
services to your clients and staff. This is why we hope the Listserv
will serve as a resource to keep you up-to-date on the latest public
health information.
The Listserv e-mail will arrive in your in box on the
last Tuesday of every month. Please respond to this e-mail address
if you have any questions, comments or additions to the monthly Listserv.
Thank you for your wonderful support of the RTC.
Warm Regards,
The JSI RTC Team
