The goal of the technology liaison (TL) workshops is to help TLs better understand their role and their work at local sites. Throughout the day, TLs will be able to share knowledge with other members of the NWP Technology Liaisons Network in workshops focused on the core work of sites. Workshops will also address such topics as digital writing, strategic site planning, and issues of equity and access.
