Washington, DC 20003
Dear Kirn,
I've enclosed an outline of a community organizer training that CPHA will be holding February
11 th and 12th in Baltimore. We expect between 40 and 50 individuals to attend. Some are doing
organizing for the very first time and others will have some experience.
We are interested in knowing if you or any of your staff would be interested in acting as trainers
for any of the workshops during these two days. I '11 call you during the week of January 11 th
(I'm off next week due to moving) to see what you think. Although we do have local people
who can lead most of the sessions, we'd really like to have at least one person from NOA play a
role in the training. This is not only because of your expertise but also because it will give the
participants an opportunity to learn something about NOA as well.
Sincerely,

~(tty Ro
