Many Benefits of the Community Networking Coalition

I know that “Happy New Year” seems like a vague memory already, but this is the first CNC gathering of 2015, so welcome to a New Year of opportunities, possibilities and adventures!  As you can see from the attached agenda, we will be highlighting an important program, NEW to Prince Albert.  This is also a time to share what is happening in your organization in the upcoming year.  Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the latest programs and initiatives happening in Prince Albert and take the information back to your workplace.  The Community Networking Coalition (CNC) is dedicated to providing you with as many tools as possible to network, share information/resources and access services.  The monthly gatherings are free of charge, held in a central location and scheduled to ensure minimum time away from your workplace.  Members tell us that it is the best professional development opportunity that they have as it does not require travel, time away from work or accommodation costs!!
