This is a reminder that if you haven\u2019t yet submitted your Form 471, or need a refresher, please join me for Form 471 Training. I have scheduled three training sessions, with the first focusing on our smaller applicants that are using month-to-month (M-T-M) service (such as a library requesting a hotspot for their bookmobile) or the CABIO bidding exemption<\/strong><\/a>. The other two trainings will focus on all other application types and will begin with walking through how to create a Contract Record in EPC. There will be plenty of time available to ask questions. Registration is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t forget, you must request your Category 1 E-Rate funding every year, even if you\u2019re in a multi-year contract for a service. If your procurements are complete and contracts signed, or if you are in a multi-year contract from a previous year, please don\u2019t wait to file your Form 471s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Category 1 –\u00a0M-T-M\/CABIO Form 471 Training<\/strong> Category 1 Form 471 Training<\/strong> Category 2 Form 471 Training<\/strong> Training guides are located at\u00a0https:\/\/e-ratepa.org\/?page_id=745<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope to see you then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lorrie<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lorrie Germann<\/em><\/strong>
