SUMMARY:TARC e-Learning: Public Education for Rural Emergency Communications

Getting the word out to rural service areas can be a challenge. How can regional 9-1-1 programs promote the use of these new technologies? Join us as we hear from 2 regional 9-1-1 programs about innovative and cost-effective strategies they’ve found to keep their rural areas educated and engaged! \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2360062546468983054

SUMMARY:Update: TARC February 2021 Bi-Annual Staff Training & Board of Directors Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Wednesday & Thursday Events Cancelled\n  \nDue to continued extreme weather conditions and power and cellular outages in Austin\, like many of you the majority of the TARC staff has no reliable heat\, electricity or internet. Our ability to respond and communicate is extremely limited at this time. Please note we will respond to you as soon as we are able. \nWe know many of you are experiencing similar conditions around the state.

We hope for better conditions and the ability to host you all virtually for the TARC Board meeting on Friday but ask you have patience as these decisions are made. \nWe apologize for any delays and thank you for your understanding! Stay warm and safe!!! We will get through this challenge together.

SUMMARY:TARC e-Learning: Decoded©: Assessing Compliance Risk in Public Sector Grants and Building a Monitoring Plan
DESCRIPTION:The Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.331(a) requires Prime Grantees who receive federal funds to perform a risk assessment for all subrecipients of the federal funds prior to award.

SUMMARY:TARC e-Learning: Decluttering Your COG's Communications
DESCRIPTION:When you move into a new home\, you have big plans about your belongings\, including what will go where\, how to use furniture and décor and the function of your new space. But life gets in the way. Some things may get misplaced\, while others never get unpacked. Before you know it\, the boxes become invisible to you—or maybe they get repurposed as end tables. The same often happens with your work's external communications. Your overall brand and the elements of your communications toolbox may well fall victim to the same sort of dynamic: big plans until reality interrupts. In this session\, we'll address the reasons for prioritizing a regular communications audit as well as what that involves. Prepare to do some unpacking!\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nFor more information and to register\, email Kim at klile@txregionalcouncil.org.
