Dear Current and Former HandsNet Students –

The HandsNet Training and Resource Center, one of the initial technology training centers for nonprofits in Washington, DC, was founded in 1996 with a grant from the Department of Commerce TIAPP program. Since that time the Center has trained more than 10,000 nonprofit professionals on a range of Internet skills and concepts.

After nearly 5 years at 1990 M Street, the HandsNet Training and Resource Center will close its doors on March 30, 2001. We are no longer offering our course curriculum at this location.

HandsNet will continue to develop its curriculum and deliver Internet classes through the HandsNet Mobile Technology Classroom, a set of 22 laptop computers with full Internet connectivity that allows hands-on training delivery at conferences and other locations.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Michael Saunders, HandsNet’s Executive Officer at msaunders@handsnet.org. Please also check this Web site for the most updated information about HandsNet curriculum offerings in the Washington, DC area and beyond.

We would like to extend a sincere ‘thank you’ to you, our students. It has been a tremendous pleasure to serve you over the years and it has been rewarding to watch you and your organizations grow. We will miss you and we wish you the best of luck in the future.

Warmly,

The HandsNet Training Team
