A Virtual Conversation with Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, September 10, 2020, 3:00 – 4:00 pm
“The Appropriations Committee Process and opportunities for federal funding”
In 1990, Rosa DeLauro was elected to the House of Representatives and she has served the State of Connecticut and UConn since then. Last year, as a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, Congresswoman DeLauro shepherded over $19 million in federal funds to the University of Connecticut. This year, Rosa has an opportunity to rise to the level of Chair of House Appropriations, a move that would benefit not only the state, but the University of Connecticut immensely. Please see the latest article on Rosa: https://ctmirror.org/2020/08/20/delauro-in-hot-race-but-its-not-for-re-election/.
Congresswoman DeLauro is hosting a Zoom call for members of the UConn community on the Appropriations Committee process and potential opportunities for funding over the next couple of years. Please join us in showing your support for her potential move to the Chair’s position and learn about potential federal funding opportunities.

A report was developed by the committee and will be presented at the September 4, 2020 meeting. Negotiations for the expiring successor agreement will begin on September 15, 2020.
