<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: small;">During the opening reception, we will gather at the Management Concepts booth, hosted by chapter treasurer Erica Preston, at around 6:30.</span></div>

chapter members for an informal lunch on <strong>Thursday,
June 2</strong></span><strong><sup><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">nd</span></sup></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> from 11:45 to 1:00 at the
Panera Bread at Metro Center </span></strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">(601 13th St NW, near corner of G, and just down the block from
the Metro Center metro station). We will commandeer a table in a (hopefully)
quieter area in the back. We will be there at 11:45 to get a table – we
encourage you to join us then to beat the crowds or to join us whenever you can
during the lunch hour! This is an informal opportunity to meet other chapter
members, discuss current issues in the grants world, or vent about that latest
grant application that drove you crazy!

complicated. This session will focus on finding and articulating program
results using everyday English and a blueprint to guide action. The session
will be led Edie Steele, Ph.D. of Hood College in Frederick, who has conducted
training in program development, data collection, evaluation and measurement
for funding and nonprofit organizations in the Northeast. <b>June 14, 2016,

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Happy May! As we
move through our many spring grant deadlines, we’re delighted to provide you a
few updates on our chapter’s activities:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">- May
brownbag: Many thanks to those of you who joined us at our March happy
hour! To continue with informal gatherings, we will be planning a brownbag
lunch in late May – an informal opportunity to meet other chapter members,
discuss current issues in the grants profession, and vent about that latest
grant application or report that drove you crazy! We will be shortly
be sending out information about exact date, time, and location.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">- <b>“Selling and Telling”</b>: On June
14, we will join the Foundation Center to host a professional development
session on “Selling and Telling: Impact and Your Organization.” Describing
programs is easy; communicating their impact is more complicated. This session
will focus on finding and articulating program results using everyday English
and a blueprint to guide action. The session will be led Edie Steele, Ph.D. of
Hood College in Frederick, who has conducted training in program development,
data collection, evaluation and measurement for funding and nonprofit
organizations in the Northeast. June 14, 2016, 11:30 am-1:00 pm,
Foundation Center, 1627 K St NW in Washington. For more information and to
register, please sign up <a href="http://grantspace.org/training/calendar/washington-dc/special-program-selling-and-telling-impact-and-your-organization-2016-06-14-washington-dc">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">- <b>Job Announcements</b>: If your
organization has an open job opportunity or you become aware of one, please
share with GPA-NCA chapter members! Please post them to our <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8245878">LinkedIn Group</a> or
our <a href="http://gpancachapter.blogspot.co.ke/">chapter blog</a>. You
can also send them directly to grantsnca@gmail.com and we will
include them in the next email distribution to the chapter membership. Thank
you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">- <b>Consultants’ Network</b>: In response
to several requests, we are starting a consultants’ network within our chapter.
This network will allow GPA-NCA members who are consultants to exchange
information on resources and referrals and to maintain a directory of their
areas of expertise and/or subcontracting needs or interests. If you
would like to join this network, please email us at grantsnca@gmail.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">- <b>Regional Conference</b>: We are exploring
the possibility of hosting a GPA Regional Conference in the next 2-3 years, on our
own or in cooperation with other nearby chapters. We are forming a small, adhoc
exploratory committee to delve into this further. If you are interested in
serving on this committee, or simply would like to share some ideas, please
contact us at grantsnca@gmail.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Please let us know

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Overview:<br />
Geared toward grant researchers, writers, managers, and administrators who are
considering the Grant Professional Certified (GPC) credential, this session
will feature an informational overview of requirements for the certification
and a panel discussion with three Washington-area grant professionals who will
share their experiences seeking the GPC credential and its impact on their
careers. The GPC credential is recognized as the standard for professional
competency and ethical practices for the field of grantmanship and is the only
known grant credential that covers the full lifecycle of the grant process. The
GPC examination and certification processes are administered by the Grant
Professionals Certification Institute (GPCI), an independent affiliate of the
Grant Professionals Association (GPA).</span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
