Virtual Policy Academy: Webinar Series

Over the nearly-four years of the project, 11 states have participated in in-person policy academies designed to help them grow their capacity to support sector strategies in their states. Over the past few months, we took this policy academy concept "virtual" with a series of webinars. That series is now complete, and links to the material from all five sessions are below.

(Update, 3/31/11: by the end of the project, eighteen states participated in meetings and other in-person activities, and twenty-five states, including eighteen states that were not otherwise engaged in the project, participated in the Virtual Policy Academy. Ten states enrolled in the entire academy.)
