Prop 39: Preparing for Success
On November 5, the day before the Summit begins, we’re offering a special workshop, “Prop 39: Preparing for Success.” This daylong seminar will give you information and resources that will help you make sure your district does not miss out on the opportunities that Prop 39 will provide. Topics covered will include the proposal process, a review of the "best practices" that will be expected to be reflected in project proposals, sources of technical support for planning your projects, incentive programs and other financial resources that can help you leverage your Prop 39 funds and expand your efficiency efforts. Come with your questions!
