I changed the order below based on the chronology of it provided in the power point. Also, I added two items that would be important to include in this training to applicants about the offset cycle: describe the process a little, and review the form wiith webinar participants since it is has changed from their last experience. I also think this would be a good time to announce some general CPG business like - why is the offset cycle starting late (guidelines say it will begin January 1, 2014; and introduce the grant program name change coming in the next cycle).
Funding for Offset
Approximately $1,000,000 of funding is available
