The Rural PACE Technical Assistance Program

scheduled
for May 12-13 in Columbia, SC and June 3-4 in Milwaukee, WI. Each
workshop
will provide an overview of the PACE model, discussion of strategies
for
adapting the PACE model to rural areas, and training in the use
of a
self-assessment instrument for considering the development of a
rural PACE
program. The workshops are free though space is limited. Attending
the
workshops is a prerequisite to receiving future desk reviews and
consultations related to the development of a rural PACE program
that will
