Dear NEOA Members, I want to offer a brief clarification regarding a recent communication that was intended for our Advocacy Committee Co-Chairs but was inadvertently sent to the full membership. Thank you for your understanding, and please rest assured that a formal message with all the details you need regarding the upcoming NEOA Town Hall Meeting—scheduled for Thursday May 22—will be sent shortly. The Town Hall is being held on Thursday so we can come together to share and debrief updates following the U.S. Secretary of Education’s testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee, which will take place on Wednesday May 21st. We look forward to your participation and engagement in this important conversation. As always, thank you for your continued support and dedication to our mission. Warmly, Yara Zoccarato President [NEOA Logo] www.neoaonline.org<https://www.neoaonline.org/>
