This group was formed to help NCDDers in Southern California to network and share area-specific announcements. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, there are no clear boundaries for this area.
Golden West College and Cal State Dominguez Hills are collaborating to offer a course in Negotiation/Conflict Resolution. It’s a 3 credit course taught by a wonderful Cal State Dominguez Hills faculty. It’s only $10.00 and you’ll learn many hands on negotiation skills from a highly professional educator. Please take a look and let me know if you’re interested. Also please pass it on to your friends and people who you think might be interested. We need to know about the enrollment as soon as possible to keep the class open. If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact Fran Faraz at [email protected] ASAP.
