Mea culpa for jumping to the conclusion that NRCS had produced the class on its own.<br />-----------<br /><br />Thank you Tom! I just opened your Blog and must agree with the comment received on the GoLearn consultation course. The course development was a true interagency collaborative effort--Val, Monique (now with USGS), and Bill from the ACHP and Eugenia Tyner-Dawson of DOJ lead the effort and worked closely with, NPS (Dr. Pat Parker Tribal Program Director and colleagues), FS (also Monique for several years) FHWA, OPM, BLM (tribal office), BIA (tribal office) Commerce, USACE (tribal office) and others to create the concept and the course. NRCS (Edith Morigeau--tribal office director and me) was a late-comer to the interagency group. When Dr. Janie Hipp joined USDA as the Director of the Office of Tribal Relations, she and her staff worked on and sponsored further development and distribution of the course. <br />I am thankful and honored to have had an opportunity to contribute to content and some funding--NRCS also adopted the course as a mandatory module of our internal employee training.<br />Thank you for your kind words but please give the credit to the others, lead by the ACHP and DOJ, for the concept and hard development and distribution work.<br />Happy New Year!<br />Sarah <br />Sarah T.
