Hello! I just received the following email about a professional development opportunity I thought many of you may be interested in. It's an online course on connecting with the Spanish-speaking community if you don't speak Spanish. It costs $70 which may see
like a lot, but this is a 4 week course rather than a couple hours of training one day and it's online so you don't have to travel. Read the email below for details.<br>
