Virtual PD

Virtual Conversation: April 27, 2021 | 1pm ET

The U.S. Senate joined the House of Representatives in passing the American Rescue Plan (ARP) on March 6. In all, the Senate bill could make $8.45 billion available at the state level for afterschool and summer programs, across all states; and $21.9 billion at the local level for afterschool and summer.

What does this mean for those with products and services for summer and afterschool programs? It could mean a great opportunity to grow your brand, presence and sales.

Please join us on April 21, 2021 for a virtual conversation with NAA’s President & CEO, Gina Warner, to learn more about how and when this money will flow to the states and locals and into programs. Jill Carroll, NAA’s Marketing & Media Consultant, will share advice on how you can support these programs with your resources in a timely and relevant manner.

This event is for Advocate members and CAB partners only. Interested in joining as an Advocate? Click here.
