Welcome to LM. So glad you found us. I'm hoping LM really becomes a place where multi-site leaders can find community, share ideas, develop leaders and discover best practices. I know you're learning a lot on your journey and so I encourage you to jump in post pics, blog, forums anything you think would add value to other multisite leaders. Make sure you check out the Childrens Leaders group under the Groups tab.
Thanks,
Mac
