Recent Feedback from a Member:

I greatly appreciated the panel discussion Southwest Missouri Grant Writers presented yesterday on Metrics. Throughout the discussion, I realized that I have the opportunity to help shape the expectations and establish meaningful metrics for the evaluation of a grant program at EU.

Thank you for your dedication to the Southwest Missouri Grant Writers as the group has already proven a valuable resource as I learn this new world of grant writing and management.
