It is important that each person who wishes to attend preregister as indicated on the flyer. We need to have an accurate count of attendees so that we order enough food for those in attendance and have adequate seating. We will make name tags for the attendees based on the preregistration list. The preregistration list is important for the process of accounting for the dollars we spend for the forum. So, please come and do spread the word about the event by sending the flyer to others who are interested in the issue of Poverty and Student Achievement. Once an individual registers for the forum, an acknowledgement email will be sent to the individual. The email will include further details related to the location of the meeting rooms and parking. If you have questions, please send them via email to Tasha Billie.
