**MEMORANDUM**

To: Participants in the November Peer Learning Session

From: Beverly Tyler

Date: November 12, 2007

We are delighted that you will be joining us for our Peer Learning
Session for ORHP Grantees on November 27 and November 28. We have an
exciting two days planned for you, and we hope you will enjoy your visit
to Atlanta.

The focus of the Peer Learning Sessions is for those working on similar
programs to share their experiences and learn from one another. To this
end, we are allotting 20 minutes for each grantee to present their
program and answer questions from your peers. You may use your allocated
time to share your work in whatever format is most comfortable for you.
If you would like to make a formal presentation, we will have Power
Point capabilities available. We are not scheduling specific time slots;
we will let you volunteer to present as you feel comfortable. If you
have materials to share, please bring 30 copies with you or **send
materials to us by November 21**, and we will make copies for you
(including your Power Point presentation). Please email materials for
copying to Michelle Huddelston at
[www.mhuddleston.gsu.edu](http://www.mhuddleston.gsu.edu/).

The Agenda for the two-day session is attached.

For shuttle service between the Atlanta Airport and the Sheraton Hotel,
we recommend The Atlanta Link Shuttle service. Reservations are not
needed for transportation from the airport, but it is recommended that
you make a reservation in advance. To make your reservation go to
