State Networks: Where and When?
Level 1: No State Network, No State Liaison� 0 local networks; 0 members
Level 2: National Liaison Support� 0 to 1 local network; members-at-large
Level 3: State Liaison Support� 2 local networks; 50+ members
Level 4: State Liaison Support and a State Network (optional)
� 3-5 local networks
Level 5: State Network� 6+ local networks
Services and Activities More Targeted to Supporting Local NetworksStronger Connection and Partnership between Local-State-NationalRegular Intentional Communication –Internally and Externally
