Government and Professional Relation (GPR) Training

NASP GPR has been approved to provide up to six state trainings this year.  Our state must complete an application for the GPR State–Tech Support training in order to get approved.  GPR will choose the states to receive training based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

	Number of people to be trained
	Identified population to be trained
	Readiness of the state association to be trained
	Pressing issues on the “front burner” of that state association
	Impact that the state’s congressional members have on public policy, and
	Scheduling

The training is a full day, 9:00-5:00 workshop.  Please contact your SPAN Coordinator if you are interested in this training.
