LEP Listserv
The LEP listserv address is lep@listserv.unc.edu.  The listserv can be used to seek advice from fellow LEPs, pose questions, share ideas, and make announcements.  If you or a member of your team would like to be added to the list, reach out to Gisele Crawford or Noreen Yazejian.  

EducareShare
Start Early manages EducareShare as an online community for the entire Educare Learning Network.  The research team at Start Early manages a group within Educare Share for LEPs and NEPs.  This group can be utilized to share resources, ideas, and common challenges.  To register, go to https://ecconnector.org/educare-learning-network.  

Monthly LEP Community of Practice Meetings
FPG and the research team at Start Early host a monthly online CoP meeting for LEPs.  It is (almost always) on the second Friday of each month from noon to 1:30 eastern time.  If you need to receive the calendar invitation with the Zoom meeting information, reach out to Kalen Donahue.
