Conditonal Formatting in Excel

I would like to use two colors for coloring dates that are meetings.  These dates are space out for the last three months. I want to color green for the first year and say red for the year beyond.  I have tried several ways and not getting the same results.  

 

My summary sheet has all formulas and the conditional formatting that I tried did not work the same way.  

 

I have tried several tutorials and not getting the right answers.

P.S. I am using dates.

    Select your date range ( assuming as starting in A2) and apply this conditional formatting formulas:
    For green:
    =A2<=EndOfFirstYear
    For red:
    =A2>EndOfFirstYear

      This did not work or I didn't understand the process.   Here is another Twifoo
