<div dir="ltr">The first link leads to more info about the House budget, including $12m for DEI efforts (compared to $0 that the Senate included)<span style="font-size: inherit;">. I believe that the survey I sent out to you all a couple months ago allowed
me to paint a realistic picture with your words about the wins and needs and realities about scaling your (our) work.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;">None of this is final, but it is hopeful. Your presidents all have this information and have more specifics from our finance folks, so please reach out to them and ask how you can support any asks and communication
with legislators that needs to be coordinated.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">I will continue sending more information out as it becomes available, but in the meantime, if there's any guidance or clarification that I or any of us from the state board can offer, please don't hesitate to reach out.</div>
