Join us for this free workshop designed to help you better foster your mission goals through best practices, lessons learned, and shared resources. Just a few of the questions we will address: What are the varied types of organizations that are considered CTCs— and am I one? What does a successful CTC look like? Am I aware of all of the funding avenues available to CTCs? We will also:

• Explore free resources to help you develop, add new programs and manage your CTC
• Examine CTC essentials such as strategic program focus and effective evaluation
• Discover the CTC community -- in the North Bay and beyond – and collaborate on ways to foster its network and identity
• Discuss your specific needs and how we can work together to solve your challenges
