To help all Pennsylvania applicants prepare for the upcoming E-rate Year 12 (FY2009) application cycle and to provide important information about new CIPA requirements and E-rate audits, we are pleased to announce an E-rate webinar that will provide updates and refreshers to all veteran E-rate applicants. The session will be held October 28 from 1 - 3 p.m. These important topics, and more, will be discussed:
* Newly-Enacted Amendments to CIPA Law
* Updates to the Eligible Services List
* E-rate Audits and How to Be Sure You're Compliant
* Possible Eligibility of Filtering Services
* Verizon Wireless Discounting Procedures for BlackBerry Plans
* Direct Certification for NSLP
* Increasing Your Funding Request after the Window Has Closed
* Technology Plan Deadlines
* PETE&C Pre-Conference Audit Program
* Deadlines Looming for FY 07, 08, & 09
There will be ample time for Q & A. Pre-Registration is required at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ERry8XTyt6vR1G2gP89yCw_3d_3d. There are 200 seats available for this training and if those become filled, we will schedule a second session in November.
All E-rate contacts not attending the beginners training are encourage to participate in this session. 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 two remaining E-rate Training for Beginners sessions at http://www.e-ratepa.org/training_outreach.htm.
I look forward to joining you on October 28!
