Partnership Meeting Notes - January 2014
Mon, 2014-01-13 21:22 | by StephanieMAIN DISCUSSION TOPICS:
William Penn Foundation initiative – Partners have submitted proposals pertaining to their "clusters" that are going before their Board on January 17. We should know soon after that what was approved. Most of the work planned for the Pocono-Kittatinny Cluster (PKC) overlaps closely with the partnership's work, so expect a lot of activity and updates over the next few months as the PKC work gets going. Pinchot proposed support for a cluster coordinator who would serve as the main point of contact and liaison between the cluster and partnership.

Travel costs
TCF has some funding to help cover travel/lodging costs, but it depends on the needs of the teams they ultimately accept and likely won't cover all costs.
