Virtual Webinars/Program Opportunities for Professional Development

Hi everyone!

We at CLASC hope this email finds everyone safe and healthy at home. It was suggested by a CLASC member that we share some professional development resources and webinars that we can take advantage of during this period of social distancing. Now is a great time to earn professional development hours!

Below please find suggestions from CLASC members and board members.

Do you have more suggestions? Please email us back with any webinars/virtual programs that you have found to be beneficial and we will forward them on to the membership.
