Speaker:
Jack Austin spoke to us about the GSE team's trip to Taiwan. The team traveled to Taiwan from February 22 - March 24, 2010. They visited so many different places including social service offices, hospitals, museums, national parks and forests to name a few. Jack also explained to us the new way of GSE- "Future Vision." Our district will be a part of this pilot and instead of the GSE group having diverse vocations the team will consist of individuals with the same vocation.
