There will be ample time for Q & A.  Pre-Registration is required at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=fti14hmpry5AA5lGzSWL_2fg_3d_3d .  There are 250 seats available for each training and if those become filled, we will schedule a third session in November.

Both webinars will be identical in content and all E-rate contacts not attending the beginners training are encourage to participate in one of the two sessions. For individuals that may not be familiar with webinars, you simply log-in to a pre-announced website where you will view the training online from the comfort of your own computer (I'll be presenting a Powerpoint and taking live written and voice questions).  Detailed instructions are listed below in order to prepare your computer for the webinar and to participate the day of the event.

If you are new to E-rate and need comprehensive training, please register for one of the E-rate Training for Beginners sessions at http://www.e-ratepa.org/training_outreach.htm.  

I look forward to joining you on October 23 or November 14!
