MassPAC started a new initiative during the pandemic – SEPAC Summer School – a place for SEPAC officers and members to learn how to build and grow a successful SEPAC.  The 10 week series of zoom webinars were held on Tuesday evenings from 7-8 PM.  The first 30 minutes was a presentation on a topic which included links to resources. Then, at 7:30 we had breakout groups and conversation on the topic. Throughout the summer, FCSN welcomed new and seasoned SEPAC officers and members to share best practices.

SEPAC Summer School returned in 2021!
