Hello Tribal Partners,
Due to overwhelming demand we had some technical difficulties with our ARP State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Tribal Information Session and that many people were not able to benefit from the information. We’ve added a second session on Tuesday, May 18, 20201 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern. The new platform will host a large number of people with less technological difficulties. We will be sending the new opportunity to participate to those that registered yesterday but we would appreciate you broadcasting this opportunity to your membership and networks.
As always, we value your partnership and appreciate you help in getting the word out.
Best regards,
Nancy Montoya
Treasury Tribal Affairs Program Coordinator
