Join us for an overview of the changes coming to the federal Uniform Guidance. The Trump Administration is streamlining and turning the current guidance into regulations, while increasing the power of the executive branch over grantmaking. Most of these changes will affect all entities that receive federal funding—states, AAAs, Title VI programs and providers. We’re still analyzing all the implications on the Aging Network but want to inform members as to what is coming and hear your questions!

Speakers:

• Sandy Markwood, CEO
• Amy Gotwals, Chief, Public Policy and External Affairs
