Coordinators Meetings
Coordinator Meetings provide a time for coordinators to come together to dig deeper into topics of their interest, hear Parents as Teacher National Center updates as well as the latest state and national Home Visiting development updates. It is also a time to renew professional energy and supportive relationships with peers. These meetings are generally held in the Spring and Fall for a two-day period.

Affiliate Performance Report, Quality Standards
Once the coordinator of a new affiliate has completed the Foundational and Model Implementation training, they are eligible to participate in the 9-session New Affiliate Orientation. Fidelity to the model takes time and intentionality, and these orientation meetings have been developed around Implementation Science research and the idea that development of a program depends on ongoing technical assistance.
