Event Details

We have a scheduling conflict with the present date and time for December’s HPPC meeting. The Department of Commerce is providing a celebration for the participants of the 100 Day Challenge to recognize all the hard work done by our community. The celebration is scheduled for December 13^th at 12:30 in Pasco. It is very important to participate in the wrap up of the challenge and therefore we will be rescheduling our HPPC meeting to Monday afternoon.

Thank you for your understanding. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. All other HPPC meetings will be scheduled for the second Tuesday of the month from 10-11:30am.
