CHN Leadership Network

(Not Published – This is a private group for statewide leaders)

To help us keep the directory accurate and up to date, we’d like to stay in touch with your leadership team.

Each year, CHN plans to contact participating groups to verify that their directory information is still current. Because leadership sometimes changes, we request contact information for more than one administrator or moderator whenever possible.

From time to time, CHN may also share important information affecting Connecticut homeschool families, including legislative updates, legal developments, statewide homeschool news, conference announcements, educational opportunities, and other time-sensitive information. Your group remains completely independent and may decide whether and how to share this information with your members.

Final Note

To help keep the CHN Connecticut Homeschool Directory accurate and useful, participating groups may be contacted periodically to review and update their information. If your group’s leadership, website, or other directory information changes during the year, we encourage you to let us know so families can continue to connect with your community.
