I wanted to Thank Laura and Diane for the time they spent putting 
together thoughtful answers for the NIFL-Workplace list about both 
Workforce Improvement Networks.

We have heard Laura and Diane's take on these issues, now I would 
like to hear from you:

Should the Federal Government fund a program to initiate statewide 
efforts like WIN?
How do you feel about this? Would you like to see funding come from 
the Federal Government for at National Network? How willing would you 
or your organization be to get involved?

In addition to a quote made by Laura, and seconded by Diane:
"One area the federal government could help  is in  the area of 
documenting learners.  The NRS is currently not helpful  enough in 
capturing what really happens in customized workplace  education 
programs."
Do you agree with this statement? How do you capture what really 
happens in your programs so that it can be reported with in your 
state/government system?
