SB-CEUs are pending for this workshop and will be an additional $10 per person.
In these tough economic times, finding money for our programs is imperative. Now, with so many opportunities for grant money coming for educators and educational institutions, it is the perfect time to be poised with a prepared grant-writing team! If you want to be ready to write a polished, professional grant, this is the best time to invest in yourself, your staff, and your program. Give yourself the edge your program needs. There is only limited availability for this valuable workshop, so register early!
