Philadelphia Peer-to-Peer Meeting, October 2016
AVA held the second in a series of peer-to-peer meetings in Philadelphia on October 5th. This meeting was attended by 15 administrators and staff from 11 states. We covered quite a lot of information from reporting mandates, implementation planning, working with subgrantee programs and PREA to funding strategies and managing returned monies, among other things. We had some really good conversations and learned valuable lessons from one another on how we accomplish the day-to-day work for meeting the mandates of the STOP program. AVA will be following up with OVW on several questions that arose so keep an eye out for the summaries of those calls. The next Peer-to-Peer meeting will be in late January, location TBA.
