<\/a>Ongoing Consultation<\/h2>\n

The CPL offers long-term consultation support to community partners on an ongoing basis. Our team members are often on steering committees and boards and offer regular check-ins as programs develop. In these partnerships, the CPL supports partners’ initiatives and provides expertise to help partners more fully achieve their mission and goals.<\/p>\n
