Feedback from attendees
about their experience at the Literacy New York Summer Institute has
been extremely positive:
I appreciated opportunities to share ideas during lunch and dinner
as well as during the workshops.
After attending the Summer Institute, I feel a much greater connection
to other affiliates.
It's great for planning; I know the Summer Institute will be in early
June, and I can get folks lined up to go in advance.
