Amazing things are happening in Texas, y’all! We don’t have to go beyond state borders to find fantastic examples of best practices, lots of innovative service delivery, and novel ideas.
“Best of Texas” brings local experts together to share their wisdom and experience – and maybe help us all avoid a few pitfalls along the way.
These 1-hour sessions are held online once per month on the second Thursday of the month. Check our calendar for details of upcoming sessions.
Best of Texas sessions follow our monthly themes.
