Purpose & Objectives This past year the six New England ISTE affiliates explored possibilities for coordination of programs and resources. The process began at NECC 2006 birds of a feather session entitled "New England Affiliates Collaboration and Planning." The energy and ideas from this initial meeting were further pursued at a follow-up meeting in October 2006, in which members of all six boards met for two days to build the foundation for working together in the future. As our first year of working cooperatively comes to a close, this session offers the opportunity to reflect upon and discuss the progress we have made in year one of our efforts. Come and take part in a sharing of our insights, accomplishments and plans for the future!
