Greetings!
I hope your summer is going great. We're busy this summer updating and revamping some of our programs and services. You will notice below the news story about our new website which is one of those items. I hope you'll take the time to check it out and give us some feedback. We will be implementing a new event registration system this fall that will allow you to register and pay for events right from your smartphone!
Another item to share with you is that we have hired an Interim STEM Program Manager. Mrs. Mary Ann Barker will be working with us over the summer to help us get ready for the hiring of a full-time STEM Program Manager this fall. As part of the transition in our STEM program we are postponing this fall's Future Focus EXPO until next Spring.
We are looking forward to continued growth in all area's of our work program and greatly appreciate your feedback and participation.
Jonathan Whitt, Executive Director
