Welcome CLFC Facilitators!

The Alumni group and webpage were suggested by our CLFC Facilitators as a way to keep connected, increase capacity, and offer free resources and training.  On this page you will find information on upcoming events and Alumni sessions.  Our Alumni training and resources page is coming soon. 

We are growing!  Sign up for our Alumni Group to receive updates and information!


Virtual Alumni Sessions

Our Virtual Alumni sessions occur in the evening from 6-7:30pm EST.  These free sessions give facilitators a chance to network and learn in a relaxed, friendly, virtual meeting.

Our next Alumni opportunity is the CIP Summit, April 16-17th.

See you there!
