CIS local and state board members, along with all CIS affiliates are encouraged to attend.
The Sustainability Summit will be funded by CISNC’s national office through a grant application for Impact Funds.

Of the $195,000 awarded to CISNC, $125,000 will be given to eight affiliates including Cape Fear, Charlotte, Clay, High Point, Lincoln, Montgomery, Moore and Rowan. The eight affiliates are expected to meet the Total Quality System standards by September 2009.
