Foundational Series

This year there are two Foundational Series running concurrently throughout the fall.


Sessions are designed to allow options and flexibility.


Both series are hybrid and will require stable internet connectivity and audio / visual capabilities.


Zoom links will be sent to participants to the email address supplied during registration the afternoon preceding the training.


Each session requires independent registration.

Registering for Day 1 does not automatically register participants for subsequent sessions.

(Click the dates of the sessions you wish to attend to be taken to the registration page.)

The days may be mixed and matched between series.


Example: Day 1 of Series A may be paired with Day 2 of Series B.


Sessions do not have to be taken in order.


For example: Day 2 of Series A may be taken before Day 1 of Series B.


To meet compliance requirements all days 1-5 must be completed.
