Hello NEOA community, The Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) will hold a Government Relations Community Update, tomorrow Wednesday, June 4 at 5:00 p.m. ET to share critical updates and outline our collective next steps. This is a pivotal opportunity to get informed, organize, and act in defense of the students and communities we serve. 👉 Register here<https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JQzYnYuQTRicWkY99NL78Q#/registration> We urge every NEOA member to attend. Your voice, presence, and advocacy are essential as we respond to these challenges.
