1:1 Conference:  Participants will also have the opportunity to attend the states 1:1 conference on April 4^th at the Iowa Event Center.  It’s a full day conference running 9am to 4pm

Final Meeting:  Not scheduled, but we will need to discuss dates/times for coming together to share our findings from the visits, conferences, and research.  Although not scheduled, we know it will be after the last visit and the 1:1 conference, so we’re estimating mid-April
