4. Secure and distribute resources, and develop plans to provide training and technical assistance.
5. Facilitate collaboration among coalition partners.

7. Maintaining current information on the literacy challenges facing groups in the Region One Education Service area which includes the counties of Cameron, Hidalgo, Willacy, Starr, Zapata, Webb, and Jim Hogg.
