Reminder: Register Now for E-rate Training for Beginners
Message Posted September 24, 2009

In order to ensure we have printed enough training materials, I encourage you to register ASAP for the E-rate Training for Beginners, if you haven't done so already. Also, please forward this message to anyone you know who needs E-rate training but who may not be on the E-rate listserve.
Background: The Pennsylvania Department of Education is sponsoring three in-person, full-day training workshops for schools and libraries who are new to the E-rate program. The training will contain details of program rules, eligibility issues, discount calculations, and each step of the program.

Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m., with the workshop running from 9 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Each training is identical and lunch will be provided. Also, each attendee will receive a comprehensive 3-inch E-rate Resource Manual that contains copies of the PowerPoint presentation, fact sheets, forms, sample letters, tips, etc. Seating is limited. There is no fee to attend, but you will be charged $40 if you do not show up in order to cover costs (fee will be waived if you cancel at least 48 hours prior to the class).

There also will be several webinars scheduled to provide updates and training for veteran E-rate applicants and those details will be announced later.
