Structural  Improvements  

6th  Annual  Research  Development   Conference  –  May  2014  

Ê  NORDP  has  provided  EPPD  with  a  small  working  budget.   Ê  New  WebEx  webinar  subscription  now  allows  EPPD  to  broadcast

contract  with  a  non-­‐profit  management  company—Talley   Management  Group—who  will  support  EPPD  and  webinars.  

Ê  Procedures  and  job  descriptions  are  in  the  process  of  being  drafted
