June 2023 Meeting Summary

We closed our SY22-23 meetings with a summary of what we accomplished together this year. We were so excited to have over 50 organizations and government offices represented throughout this year, with over 100 unique individuals participating and an average of 40 people per meeting. We also brainstormed how to improve the Community of Practice and discussed the DC Interagency State Level Plan for Secondary Transition for next year. Thank you to OSSE for hosting our hybrid meeting in their offices! 

Next Steps:

• Summer Planning Survey: Please complete this survey if you would like to participate in a strategic planning meeting for the Community of Practice this summer.
