Web Seminars
Web seminars are learning opportunities from the convenience of “wherever” you prefer. Participants are able to hear the presenters and simultaneously view the presentations. All that is needed by the participant is a phone line and a computer with a high speed internet connection. Web seminars can also be used as tools to bring current and potential clients together to share information that is helpful while building trust. Using web seminars as a chapter event or as a staff knowledge session allows for discussion and conversation and learning by all.

CD’s of past web seminars and other relevant resources are available in The Knowledge Store. These CD’s are effective on-demand tools for learning within one’s own environment and/or for learning in a group situation, i.e. staff meetings, chapter meetings.
