URGENT SURVEY REQUEST

LMEs across the state have been provided with information on their reduction in funding as of September 8, 2009.  They have been asked to provide the Division with their service's plan by October 5, 2009 for the Division's review.

We need to hear from the members of NCARF to find out if your LMEs have already taken action on services or funding reduction and what this has meant to your organization.

If you have already had reductions in either funding or services for the 2009/2010 year from your LME, please complete this quick survey, if you have not already done so.

 

NCARF will host a Golf Tournament in conjunction with the Annual Training Conference on Wednesday, September 30 at Reynolds Park Golf Course in Winston-Salem.  Registration forms are now available online.
