Dear NCL Board,

I need a decision from you on whether to re-up our membership in CEF for 2021. The cost is $1,000, which is a substantial portion of a $15,100 annual budget. We do receive useful intel from them on what's happening on the Hill, however.

Hi, all,

I’m circling back with a reminder that CEF membership renewals for 2021 are due next Friday, February 12, and we haven’t yet received yours.  As you have seen, we’ve already started our advocacy to increase federal education funding
with Hill meetings and Twitter chats this week alone – and we have plans for much more.  We’re tracking, analyzing, and explaining Congressional and Administration actions that impact education funding.  We’re providing briefings and bringing in the key Congressional
Committee staff to talk to our Friday morning meetings.  We have plans for outreach to the new Administration and to Congress in the near future.  I hope you will be a part of it!

 

The membership renewal form is available online https://cef.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an invoice for the dues once we get your renewal.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

Thank you!

Sarah

Hi, all,

I hope you are well during this scary time.  We’re trying to prepare for greater advocacy for education (we have the staff of the House Education and Labor Committee talking to CEF on Friday morning about their agenda for the year) while
reaching out to our community of friends (join us for the CEF Zoom happy hour on Thursday from 5-6pm ET!).  We’ll get through this.

I’m writing today to follow up on the emails sent to everyone on December 8 or 9 with information about renewing your membership in CEF for 2021.  You haven’t yet indicated whether you plan to renew – and we hope that you will!  We’ve got
lots of plans and want to speak with as strong a voice as possible on behalf of greater federal education investments.

The membership renewal form is available online https://cef.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.  As always, thanks for your participation in CEF!

I am in favor of continuing the relationship for the purposes of intel and
because we now have a working mechanism (aka Michele D) for sorting through
the daily (or more) emails to cull useful info for the NCL membership.

Dear NCL Board,

 

I need a decision from you on whether to re-up our membership in CEF for 2021. The cost is $1,000, which is a substantial portion of a $15,100 annual budget. We do receive
useful intel from them on what's happening on the Hill, however.

============ Forwarded message ============

 

Hi, all,

I’m circling back with a reminder that CEF membership renewals for 2021 are due next Friday, February 12, and we haven’t yet received yours.  As you have seen, we’ve already started our advocacy to increase federal education funding with Hill meetings and Twitter chats this week alone – and
we have plans for much more.  We’re tracking, analyzing, and explaining Congressional and Administration actions that impact education funding.  We’re providing briefings and bringing in the key Congressional Committee staff to talk to our Friday morning meetings. 
We have plans for outreach to the new Administration and to Congress in the near future.  I hope you will be a part of it!

 

The membership renewal form is available online https://cef.org/wp-content/uploads/2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an invoice for the dues once we
get your renewal.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

Thank you!

Sarah

Hi, all,

I hope you are well during this scary time.  We’re trying to prepare for greater advocacy for education (we have the staff of the House Education and Labor Committee talking
to CEF on Friday morning about their agenda for the year) while reaching out to our community of friends (join us for the CEF Zoom happy hour on Thursday from 5-6pm ET!).  We’ll get through this.

I’m writing today to follow up on the emails sent to everyone on December 8 or 9 with information about renewing your membership in CEF for 2021.  You haven’t yet indicated
whether you plan to renew – and we hope that you will!  We’ve got lots of plans and want to speak with as strong a voice as possible on behalf of greater federal education investments.

I would like to amend my opinion.
The others’ questions and comments pushed me to reconsider.
Is there a feeling that we are getting enough “information” that it is worth the 1K?
I am ok with supporting the vote of whomever has the most knowledge of it.

Deborah, I don’t feel educated enough to make a statement about continuing membership or not.  I will try to read about their services provided from their website.

Dear NCL Board,

I need a decision from you on whether to re-up our membership in CEF for 2021. The cost is $1,000, which is a substantial portion of a $15,100 annual budget. We do receive useful intel from them on what's happening on the Hill, however.

============ Forwarded message ============

Hi, all,

I’m circling back with a reminder that CEF membership renewals for 2021 are due next Friday, February 12, and we haven’t yet received yours.  As you have seen, we’ve already started our advocacy to increase federal education funding with Hill meetings and Twitter chats this week alone – and we have plans for much more.  We’re tracking, analyzing, and explaining Congressional and Administration actions that impact education funding.  We’re providing briefings and bringing in the key Congressional Committee staff to talk to our Friday morning meetings.  We have plans for outreach to the new Administration and to Congress in the near future.  I hope you will be a part of it!

The membership renewal form is available online herehttps://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcef.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Cthomas.cox%40ucf.edu%7Cb2ddf08c799840e31cef08d8c87d97d2%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C0%7C637479789034475702%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=x4HWJeqoF7%2Bs3N4jAzRjdhtWniehRiuE%2FaulTQf0Omc%3D&reserved=0.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an invoice for the dues once we get your renewal.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

Thank you!

Hi, all,

I hope you are well during this scary time.  We’re trying to prepare for greater advocacy for education (we have the staff of the House Education and Labor Committee talking to CEF on Friday morning about their agenda for the year) while reaching out to our community of friends (join us for the CEF Zoom happy hour on Thursday from 5-6pm ET!).  We’ll get through this.

I’m writing today to follow up on the emails sent to everyone on December 8 or 9 with information about renewing your membership in CEF for 2021.  You haven’t yet indicated whether you plan to renew – and we hope that you will!  We’ve got lots of plans and want to speak with as strong a voice as possible on behalf of greater federal education investments.

The membership renewal form is available online herehttps://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcef.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Cthomas.cox%40ucf.edu%7Cb2ddf08c799840e31cef08d8c87d97d2%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C0%7C637479789034475702%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=x4HWJeqoF7%2Bs3N4jAzRjdhtWniehRiuE%2FaulTQf0Omc%3D&reserved=0.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.  As always, thanks for your participation in CEF!

Hi, all,

I’m circling back with a reminder that CEF membership renewals for 2021
are due next Friday, February 12, and we haven’t yet received yours
.  As
you have seen, we’ve already started our advocacy to increase federal
education funding with Hill meetings and Twitter chats this week alone –
and we have plans for much more.  We’re tracking, analyzing, and explaining
Congressional and Administration actions that impact education funding.
We’re providing briefings and bringing in the key Congressional Committee
staff to talk to our Friday morning meetings.  We have plans for outreach
to the new Administration and to Congress in the near future.  I hope you
will be a part of it!

The membership renewal form is available online here

If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use
your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an
invoice for the dues once we get your renewal.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

============ Forwarded message ============

Hi, all,
I’m circling back with a reminder that CEF membership renewals for 2021 are due next Friday, February 12, and we haven’t yet received yours.  As you have seen, we’ve already started our advocacy to increase federal education funding with Hill meetings and Twitter chats this week alone – and we have plans for much more.  We’re tracking, analyzing, and explaining Congressional and Administration actions that impact education funding.  We’re providing briefings and bringing in the key Congressional Committee staff to talk to our Friday morning meetings.  We have plans for outreach to the new Administration and to Congress in the near future.  I hope you will be a part of it!

The membership renewal form is available online herehttps://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcef.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Ccdc22%40psu.edu%7C47c68cd4a82f4ecda8d108d8c870e761%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637479734536091041%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Wx9KZNFJfKDZ1vX4BdkBoYO7tDvTYN%2FMn2WkQwc8fck%3D&reserved=0.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an invoice for the dues once we get your renewal.
I’m happy to answer any questions.
Thank you!

Hi, all,
I hope you are well during this scary time.  We’re trying to prepare for greater advocacy for education (we have the staff of the House Education and Labor Committee talking to CEF on Friday morning about their agenda for the year) while reaching out to our community of friends (join us for the CEF Zoom happy hour on Thursday from 5-6pm ET!).  We’ll get through this.
I’m writing today to follow up on the emails sent to everyone on December 8 or 9 with information about renewing your membership in CEF for 2021.  You haven’t yet indicated whether you plan to renew – and we hope that you will!  We’ve got lots of plans and want to speak with as strong a voice as possible on behalf of greater federal education investments.
The membership renewal form is available online herehttps://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcef.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Ccdc22%40psu.edu%7C47c68cd4a82f4ecda8d108d8c870e761%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637479734536101029%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=i841vdhff6RxKN%2BFoYBCzDqn6K%2BAEimmLnc09Ij%2FxTg%3D&reserved=0.  If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an invoice for the dues once we get your renewal.  The deadline for renewing is February 12.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.  As always, thanks for your participation in CEF!

As you have seen, we’ve already started our advocacy to increase federal education funding with Hill meetings and Twitter chats this week alone – and we have plans for much more. We’re tracking, analyzing, and explaining Congressional and Administration actions that impact education funding. We’re providing briefings and bringing in the key Congressional Committee staff to talk to our Friday morning meetings. We have plans for outreach to the new Administration and to Congress in the near future. I hope you will be a part of it! The membership renewal form is available online here<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcef.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021-Membership-Packet-fillable-1.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Ccdc22%40psu.edu%7C47c68cd4a82f4ecda8d108d8c870e761%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637479734536091041%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Wx9KZNFJfKDZ1vX4BdkBoYO7tDvTYN%2FMn2WkQwc8fck%3D&reserved=0>. If none of your information has changed since 2020 and you want us to use your form from last year, just let us know to do that. We’ll send an invoice for the dues once we get your renewal. I’m happy to answer any questions.

We’re trying to prepare for greater advocacy for education (we have the staff of the House Education and Labor Committee talking to CEF on Friday morning about their agenda for the year) while reaching out to our community of friends (join us for the CEF Zoom happy hour on Thursday from 5-6pm ET!). We’ll get through this. I’m writing today to follow up on the emails sent to everyone on December 8 or 9 with information about renewing your membership in CEF for 2021. You haven’t yet indicated whether you plan to renew – and we hope that you will! We’ve got lots of plans and want to speak with as strong a voice as possible on behalf of greater federal education investments.
