Greetings!

NH CAN has now completed the first of three weeks dedicated to the development of the Priorities for NH's Children. The workgroups have been well attended and have eclipsed attendance from the past several years. But we are still looking for your input.Next week's sessions will bring us closer to the completion of the Priority setting process and we hope to have as many voices of children's advocates as we can.

 

Not only is attendance at our workgroups higher, we are also video conferencing the Education workgroup. As we move towards the 2012 legislative session, we are preparing to stand together in our combined advocacy for NH's children. We hope you will join us and help shape the 2012 Priorities for NH's Children! In addition there is a link to the full workgroup schedule  (click for full schedule and sites) Questions?
