Yesterday, I went to a free workshop sponsored by Congressman Paul Tonko. The workshop was about grants.gov and how to apply for federal grants. The workshop was at SUNY Albany and it was a pretty big deal. The president of SUNY Albany was there as well as other community members. There were about sixty people there learning about grants.gov. I was impressed that the workshop was so organized. There were signs on the campus directing me where to go and park. It always can be intimidating when I am on a unfamiliar campus. The staff was kind and helpful. Congressman Tonko strikes me as someone that really cares about the community and wants to help the people. It was very refreshing. He offers a lot of constituent services and encouraged us to reach out to him if we need help with grants or communication with government departments.
The grants.gov workshop was a good overview of how to register, navigate and apply. I have never used the website so I did learn about the process and tips to remember. I am happy that I went to the workshop and am very impressed with Congressman Tonko. He is offering more workshops and I plan on attending.
