A feature of every GPN Annual Meeting is the State of the State Networks Panel during which representatives from each of the state networks that make up the Great Plains Network give a brief presentation on the activities, plans, or other topics of interest regarding their networks and members.  This is a great time to see what all kinds of new and interesting things are going on within our region and in the individual states.
