A Note from Rosy

Rosy Schechter KJ7RYV headshotHello and happy Spring! This month at ARDC, we’ve had quite a few projects in the works: our first round of grantees is close to being finalized, as well as our survey for the 44net Assessment Project. We’ll share more information about each of these soon! In the meantime, here are some snippets about what we’ve been up to, and where you can find us in the next couple of months.
