In honor of Baby TALK's 30th year, we are pleased to offer a free professional development opportunity to individuals working with families in poverty in Macon County. There's only a cost if you choose to eat at the event. Dr. Bethanie Tucker is traveling from Texas to share an information-filled training based on Ruby Payne's Framework for Understanding Poverty. Some things professionals can expect to learn are:
? Understanding Class Differences
? Defining Poverty
? Bridges to Sustainable Communities
