The Intermediary Network Institute

at The Wyndham Hotel

in New Orleans, LA

April 9-10, 2003

Here's what some of the iNet members are saying about the upcoming Institute:

"The MetroVision School-to-Career Partnership is excited about hosting the iNet's 2003 Spring Institute in New Orleans! But further, we are excited about having three Louisiana intermediary organizations attend, and our state's Workforce Commission leadership at the table with our teams. We will be doing collaborative strategic planning around our efforts to secure state funding for intermediary operations in addition to focusing on our respective organizations' individual initiatives. Specifically, the MV/STC Partnership will be doing further planning for implementation of our newly created Talent Development High School regional hub in collaboration with the Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk (CRESPAR) at Johns Hopkins University."

"We will be bringing a team of 8 to the Spring Institute. This will be our third Institute and each one has served to provide our Board and staff with tools and contacts we need to develop and execute meaningful strategies and action steps."
Stacey Denaux
The Education Foundation (Charleston, SC)

"We're bringing a team to the New Orleans Intermediary Institute as it was a very beneficial process for us when we participated in Cincinnati last spring. The direction set and the goals established at that time have focused our work this year. We are rapidly expanding and need to make sure we stay aligned in our processes and our growth plan to ensure a quality experience for all partners. We are looking to bring a team of 5-8 participants consisting of TWLC staff and Advisory Council members from both education and employer partnerships. Our Advisory Council chair, a local Chamber President, is eager to attend his first iNet event!"

"We're looking forward to attending the New Orleans iNet Institute in April. We are planning to bring 10 people - a cross-functional representation of our management team. We see this as a great opportunity for us to meet as a team, to plan for the launch of a new summer jobs campaign, and most importantly, to learn from our colleagues across the country who do the same kind of work we do."
