WANO Challenges

Encouraging and achieving a greater level of

• participation by some members --- especially

for the very small number of members whose participation is minimal; Continuing to improve the resources for

• some regional centers, as well as the

experience level of some regional staff positions; and Continuing to improve the quality of our

• programs.
