You will then be on the Announcements page. Choose "Welcome to "EEC Pathways" for the details.
There is much more to explore on this page, and it's only the beginning. Since this is a "Beta/demo" for the NCNG CONNECT initiative, please offer your feedback and be patient as we learn together how APAN can assist in creating an online collaborative environment to share information and create working partnerships.
(NOTE 3: This page has been specifically designed for the mission support of the "EEC Pathways." It was done "in-house" by NCNG Gene Jordan, with the assistance of the APAN Support Staff. To create one's own page and working groups, all it requires is becoming a "Group Owner (Admin)" and then to participate in the training and "Beta/Demo" working group.
