Peer Learning Communities

The NETA Peer Learning Communities (PLC) help members' staff increase skills, collegiality and long-term commitment to public media's education mission. PLCs connect members and provide a space for sharing best practices, developing professional support networks and identifying high-impact projects that members could jointly pursue. 
 

 

Join your community!

Each NETA PLC has a member-elected executive committee consisting of a chair, vice-chair, members-at-large and a NETA staff liaison. NETA members are welcome to join a PLC that best fits their role in public media. Contact the NETA Liason for the PLC you choose in order to join.
