As agencies are directed to provide a report to OMB by <strong>Monday, February 10<\/strong> indicating whether federal grant programs are in compliance with recently issued Executive Orders, grantees may wish to draw down funds to allow for operations at least through that date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, and just as important, TRIO grantees MUST contact their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.house.gov\/representatives\/find-your-representative\">House Representative<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/index.htm\">both U.S. Senators<\/a> to let them know how this action is affecting your students and families. (For ease in contacting your legislators, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congressweb.com\/CFOE\/15\/\">use this tool on the COE website<\/a>. Be sure to &#8220;Edit Message&#8221; before sending so you can directly address the concern at hand. <a href=\"https:\/\/coethecouncil-my.sharepoint.com\/:w:\/g\/personal\/kimberly_jones_coenet_org\/EaE6j5Q6G5lEh3tLMhPUlmkBQnt38jjGmnQnJUOY5j523Q?rtime=TDPiSLw_3Ug\">A sample message is available here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we invite you to join COE&#8217;s Board of Directors for a special Government Relations Committee Meeting on <strong>Friday, January 31 at 1:00 p.m. ET<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_yV2K2FCNT4S5qdWzolHXTw#\/registration\">Please click here to register for this meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, thank you for your ardent support of TRIO programs and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"poin-contact__wrapper poin-contact alignfull  has-background gradient-as-background coe-block\">\r\n\t<div class=\"poin-contact__inner container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"poin-contact__inner-headers\">\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h2 poin-contact__title\"> Get in Touch<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t<p class=\"poin-contact__text\"> <p>Questions?
