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.
