2023 Project Planning and Development Training
The ANA Western Region Project Planning and Development (PPD) Training is now open for registration! Scroll down to view our schedule and to register using our in-person form or virtual hyperlinks!
Our upcoming PPD trainings will prepare you to work closely with your community in order to develop a community-based project. Developing a project around the community’s wants and needs will ensure that you are addressing the most pressing issues faced by your community as well as a strong foundation on which to craft a project grant proposal in the future. This is not a step you’ll want to miss! Topics for both in-person and virtual trainings will be dependent on time constraints, but both will include:
- How to engage your community to ensure their voices are heard,
- How to use community input as the basis of a feasible project design; and,
- How to prepare for the next steps in the project development process.
If you would like to get started on the process of engaging your community, or if you would like to catch up on a missed Pre-App training, then visit our Webinars tab.
