The application for the EDA RLF Community of Practice (CoP) cohorts is open now through April 29.
In addition to monthly webinars, the RLF CoP provides training cohorts. Cohort 5 will focus on improving EDA RLF operators’ capabilities based on the findings from the recent OIG Report.
The classes will start in mid-May and last from 12-3pm ET. Completion of assignments, attendance during classes, and engagement in the virtual portal are expected. Class topics and schedule are below:
- May 14: Eligibility
- June 04: Underwriting
- June 11: Loan Closing
- June 25: Portfolio Management
Only one application is needed per organization, but multiple individuals from each organization can participate in the cohort. For questions about the expectations or format of the classes, please email RLF-CoP@growamerica.org. If you have attended an RLF CoP cohort in the past, you are still welcome to apply for Cohort 5.
