Education/Research alliances

Having recently (2 years) joined the ranks of the 
education/research community, I have found some significant 
benefits for the Utah regional exchange through affiliation 
with the education/research community.

I'm curious how many other REPs have strong affiliations 
with regional education/research institutions, or have 
attempted to develop those affiliations?

Would your REP be willing to invest in developing those
relationships and engaging your local higher-ed institutions
in supporting your project?

Pete.
