          Hi Dorinda @dbell@acsdsc.org,

          It’s so nice to meet you! Welcome to your new role as a liaison and to the group. That’s great that you have a liaison partner!

          We’re here to help and answer questions anytime, and the portal is a great place to connect with others in similar roles to share ideas and support. In fact, there is a Liaison Portal Party happening this afternoon on the McKinney-Vento.org portal. It’s a fun way to meet others and get more familiar with the portal. Here is the registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Qr3c_yYVRKaGtBuXTBF5Kw#/registration

          So glad you’re here, and looking forward to connecting with you!
