Abstract	Minnesota leaders have worked hard to provide educational opportunities and employment services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The timely formation of pepnet 2 helped shape Minnesota's State Transition Team to "better prepare teachers, families, and students for transition from high school to independent living, employment, and/or postsecondary education." Professionals from many different service agencies participated in this work, including the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and its many school districts; the Department of Employment and Economic Development; Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS); the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans; and the University of Minnesota. Each agency was working individually, but when provided time during a pepnet 2 Summit conference, leaders identified areas in which collaboration was needed and got to work. Working together has led to deeper relationships, a greater understanding of respective agency goals, better communication, and finding common ties. (ERIC).
