The federal government offers a myriad of programs that can help local governments, small businesses, and educational institutions leverage their limited resources to successfully meet their various needs, and Rep. Tom Petri has scheduled a conference on the topic. "I am pleased to invite all who would be interested to a conference I am sponsoring called "Assistance to Small Business, Local Government and Education: Leveraging Federal Resources for Success," Petri said.
The conference will be take place from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm on Thursday, May 29, 2008, at Moraine Park Technical College at 235 N. National Avenue in Fond du Lac.
The program will feature specific workshop tracks for local government, small business and education, both primary and secondary as well as college and university. A fourth track will provide general information on grant writing and how to research which grants and programs are available at any given time.
Throughout the program, panel presentations will provide opportunities for those who have been successful in capturing federal dollars to share their tips and ideas. Detailed information and a registration form can be accessed on Petri's web site at
