STAY IN THE KNOW WITH PLATO
NEW! Please help PLATO attract new members! Word of mouth has always been PLATO's best recruitment tool. When members share their appreciation of PLATO's many opportunities to learn, grow and connect, it inspires others to want to learn about PLATO, too. Check out the new 10 Ways to Tell Others About PLATO article to discover additional steps you could take to spread the word. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
