Professional Development Update

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

From time to time, we hear from our members that they were unable to make a Professional Development session in person but they would really like to get the information.   On a trial basis we have arranged to have some of our in person live sessions recorded and made available for a small fee of $25 per recording.    There will be no CPE or QPA credits offered for these programs.
