KEPRO Update
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) contracts with KEPRO to provide free assistance to Medicare beneficiaries and their families. In May, we will be transitioning to a new contract period and scope of work with CMS. As result of this transition, we have been instructed, by CMS, to stop our Patient Navigation program. February 25th was the last day beneficiaries were enrolled into the program. Please stop promoting/referring to this program immediately and dispose of all materials containing information on KEPRO’s Navigation program.
Don't Forget to Network
Many opportunities to network this spring.

A Note from the Executive Director
[https://myneotoday.org/photos/35223_01302017091627.jpg]Do you have an idea for a workshop or webinar that you would like to present? Do you need professional development opportunities for your resume, CV, or tenure requirements? Some of our best and most well-attended programs started with someone wanting to share their expertise or their exciting project with the libraries in our region. Perfect examples of this include last week’s workshop, Escape Rooms from Scratch, and the recent webinar, I Didn’t Know You Did That – Public Library Board Game Circulation, along with our upcoming workshop, Instruction and Training Enhanced through Storytelling: Tips and Tricks to Engage Your Audience, <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo_responsive.php?eventid=51144&org_id=NEOL> and our upcoming webinar, Tweens…After School Behavior: To Battle or Engage? <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=50995> . We would love to have you instruct on a topic of your choice. If you are interested, we are currently accepting proposals for workshops and webinars to be held on a space available basis for July 1–December 31, 2019 or from January 1-June 30, 2020. That gives you a lot of time to plan and prepare! Please visit our website’s Call for Presenters <https://www.neo-rls.org/call_for_presenters.php> for more information. We look forward to hosting your ideas!
