What is CPE?
At SUNYIT in Utica, NY, the Continuing Profession
Education division brings together partner
organizations that serve our geographic region. The
leaders of each affiliate organization create a network
of “siblings”, distinctly different yet connected by
mission and vision. This session will describe how this
“family approach” leads to successful collaboration and
efficient use of resources.
