July webinar: Finance says it’s “just a purchase order.” Grants swears they filled out the form correctly. And now everyone’s pointing at the new OMB guidelines… which half the team hasn’t even heard about. Sound familiar? 😵‍💫

In this session, Johna Rodgers, GPC cuts through the confusion and decodes the different “languages” spoken across grants, finance and program teams. Walk away with practical, tested strategies to reduce back and forth, prevent misunderstandings, and get things right the first time—no battlefield required.
