Exchange Network Getting Started Guides Now Available
Exchange Network leadership is pleased to announce the release of the Exchange Network Getting Started Guides. These guides are designed to familiarize new and existing Network users with common activities, processes, and issues on the Exchange Network. The first four guides in the series explain how to

• Join the Network
• Join an Existing Exchange
• Build a New Exchange, and
• Apply for an Exchange Network Grant

These guides are available in Web-enabled and PDF versions on the Exchange Network website at http://www.exchangenetwork.net/guides/index.htm. Based on user feedback, these guides will be updated periodically to ensure that our partners stay current on the latest Exchange Network information and resources and are maximizing their participation in the Network.

Stay tuned for new guides in the series to be released over the next year. If there are topics you would like to see covered in future guides, please send your ideas to the Co-chairs of the Network Partnership and Resources Group (NPRG), Chris Simmers (csimmers@des.state.nh.us) and Doreen Sterling (sterling.doreen@epa.gov). Feedback on the guides should also be directed to the NPRG co-chairs.
