Our goal with these trainings is to provide tangible tools and resources that will support each of your communication and marketing strategies, as well as individual projects and services as part of our PDG-R statewide implementation work. Each session will be facilitated virtually on the last Thursday of every month and is three hours long. Resources and materials are provided after each training and can be found on the PDGR website. All training sessions are recorded and upload to our PDGR website for post-training viewing. Sessions are free, but if you missed the opportunity to attend, please enjoy the recording.
