WANO Challenges • Encouraging and achieving a greater level of participation by some members --- especially for the very small number of members whose participation is minimal; • Continuing to improve the resources for some regional centers, as well as the experience level of some regional staff positions; and • Continuing to improve the quality of our programs. 21
