What the grant funds

The NEA’s primary goals for this program are: 1) to build and strengthen a network of LAAs throughout the country and facilitate a multi-dimensional learning community for LAA leaders to exchange strategies and tools to respond to the field’s trends and learn from peers and the field’s experts; and 2) to offer resources and other assistance to LAAs based on best practices in the field.
