An E-Rate orientation for beginners is being offered this year by the Michigan E-Rate Advisory Committee with the support of the Michigan Department of Education and the Library of Michigan. This year, two Michigan E-Rate consultants, members of the Michigan E-Rate Advisory Committee, will join us to discuss what you need to know when you hire a consultant - their role and your responsibilities. The purpose of this orientation is to assist schools and libraries that are new to E-Rate with:

- Understanding the processes involved;
- Familiarizing applicants with timelines, requirements, and regulations;
- Learning what to expect as part of the funding request process;
- Locating the tools available, including those provided by the Universal Service Administrative Company; and
- Finding out where to go for more in-depth training whether you file independently, as part of a consortia application, or with a consultant.

The workshop will be held: 11/1/2017 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. 520 S. Creyts Road, Lansing 48917

Lunch will be provided. Please bring a device as paper PowerPoints will not be handed out.
