ARCIT IS COMING 
TO RURAL TEXAS!

The dialogue and networking at our recent Opportunity Conference in Austin was so valuable that the ARCIT Board wants to bring Regional Meetings again to Rural Texas in 2010!  Dates and locations will be announced after the first of the year.  We need your input to help establish priorities for the next Legislative session, plus we want to help you maximize your stretched budgets by facilitating networking and highlighting valuable resources from agencies and programs.  Let us hear from you! 

Would you like to help sponsor a meeting in your area?  You can contact ARCIT Executive Director Donna Chatham at donna@arcit.org for more information.  Together we are making a difference.


A RURAL TEXAS THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
