AN INVITATION The Simmons Foundation has begun a new journey. We have changed our application process, and invite you to hear “why” and “how."Although the Foundation will continue to make grants quarterly, we will be taking a new approach – each quarter will be devoted to a particular field of interest.  We will be holding information sessions to give an overview of our new direction, and describe our focus area for each quarter. To make it as convenient as possible, the meetings will be held in the morning and afternoon (information covered will be the same).   You are welcome to bring a total of three (3) people, staff and/or board. Tuesday, February 26, 2012 -- EDUCATION 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.There will be plenty of time for Q & ARSVP is required.
