[PL-Directors] No-Cost, In-Person E-rate Training Around the State

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings everyone! Please pardon the cross-posting...

The Oregon Department of Education wants library staff and directors to know that you are welcome to attend any of the free, in-person E-rate trainings being hosted around the state. While items related to calculating discounts and other school-specific items won't apply to libraries, the training will also cover RFPs, Bid Matrices, and other "gotchas" in the program.

If you are interested in attending any of these free trainings, please click on the registration link for the location you wish to attend. Please note that seating is limited to so register as soon as possible!

If you have questions or need to cancel a registration, please contact Sabrina Carson at 503-540-4495 or erate at wesd.org<mailto:erate at wesd.org>.

Here is the original announcement:

The Oregon Department of Education is holding several FREE sessions of the FY2016 e-Rate Procurement Training across the state. We’ll start with a brief overview of the program, but these trainings will primarily focus on the Competitive Bidding Process, RFPs and the Form 470. We’ll talk about how to manage the new C2 funding budgets, tips to ensure that you conduct a fair and open competitive bidding process, and what resources are available to you to help you maximize your efforts and your BUDGET!

Can’t make one of these sessions? Don’t worry! ODE has you covered with a pre-recorded training that will be coming out in late November-early December.

Training dates and locations are below. Please click the registration link for the session you would like to attend. Handouts will be sent to registrants prior to the event. If you have questions or need to cancel a registration, please contact Sabrina Carson at 503-540-4495 or erate at wesd.org<mailto:erate at wesd.org>. See you there!
