Good morning Maine TRIO community, I hope you are well and enjoying today's sunshine and blue sky! I wanted to share a message from NEOA: Overall NEOA has a lower percentage of donations (Fairshare) this year than we did at this point last year. The best way to increase our donation percentage is to have all of our institutions become Institutional Members. I have listed the most current Institutional Membership list. The benefits of Institutional Membership includes professional development, grant writing support and advocacy-among other things. It would be great if we could get 100% membership this year. Here is a list of institutions who are already members: Eastern Maine Community College Bowdoin College Washington County Community College Central Maine Community College University of Maine-Fort Kent Thomas College Northern Maine Community College Southern Maine Community College University of Maine-Augusta University of Maine-Farmington University of Maine University of Maine-Presque Isle University of Southern Maine Kennebec Valley Community College If your institution is not on this list, consider joining! Here is a link for more info: https://coenet.org/about-coe/institutional-membership/ Best wishes, Sam -- Samantha Prosser TRIO Upward Bound Coordinator Maine Educational Opportunity Association (MEEOA) Past-President University of Southern Maine 37 College Ave Gorham, ME 04038 Phone: 207-780-5828 Fax: 207-228-8259 Website: https://usm.maine.edu/upward-bound-veterans-high-school-students https://www.meeoa.org/ Pronouns: she, her, hers This message and its contents are confidential.
