Thank you all so much! It was truly an honor to be able to represent MEEOA and share information about TRIO! There are two other news clips that I have not been able to get links to but have posted the videos on the MEEOA FB page. I also want to thank all programs that attended (USM VUB, UM UB, Bowdoin UB, UMPI UB, Thomas SSS, and UMF SSS). You should be incredibly proud of your students as they represented TRIO so well! Also, a shout out to our very supportive board and especially, Aaron Dombroski and Chris Vogel for your assistance with Government Relations. Lastly, a big thank you to Tony Staffiere for answering all of my questions and providing such great guidance for this role.

Good morning MEEOA membership,
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to share a news bite from our Maine Advocacy Day led by Michelle Richards of the UMaine Presque Isle Upward Bound Program (and our Advocacy Day/Public Relations chair on the Board). Michelle ran a wonderful program that gained some news recognition for TRIO programs!

Here is the link if you'd like to view the clip: https://www.wabi.tv/2023/03/09/trio-programs-across-maine-raise-awareness-federally-funded-program-state-house/

Have a great weekend,
Sam
