Dear Community Action Colleagues,

Please join the Community Action Partnership on Monday, November 21st at 2:00 PM EST/1:00 PM CST/12:00 PM MST/11:00 AM PST for a special Network conversation on ROMA Next Generation and the proposed CSBG Annual Report. The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for the Partnership to share its perspective on the revised version of the CSBG Annual Report currently out for the 30-day comment period, and for the Network to give the Partnership direct feedback that we should con

sider when drafting out comments to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

We know there have been several webinars you have been asked to attend over the past few weeks. Monday's session will provide you with our perspective and highlight areas in the CSBG Annual Report that we want to ensure local CAAs and State Associations review as you develop your feedback to OMB. We also want to hear from you and will do our best to create an open forum for discussion. In that spirit, we will be sharing the slides from the web meeting but will not be recording it.

Questions on ROMA Next Gen/CSBG Annual Report you'd like us to address on Monday? Please send them to Denise Harlow at dharlow@communityactionpartnership.com or Jarle Crocker at jcrocker@communityactionpartnership.com.

Note that what we will share with you on Monday our perspective and assessment. We are not the experts on the current package and detailed questions should be sent to NASCSP at romanextgeneration2016@gmail.com.

We hope you can attend this Monday's conversation with Denise Harlow and Jarle Crocker and we look forward to you questions and comments.
