Webinar attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the following:

• Insights into how recent federal policy shifts impact grant strategies and operations
• Practical steps to optimize grant management, adapt to new requirements and mitigate funding disruptions
• Strategies to leverage technology for compliance tracking, reporting accuracy and improved efficiency
