Enjoy the convenience and cost-efficiency of a webinar workshop. There is no travel time involved and no limit to the number of attendees from your agency who may participate at your site through one hook-up. All you need to participate is a speaker telephone and a computer or laptop. You will be provided a toll-free number and the code for web access.  Due to the expense of using the hook-up, registrations may not be shared between agencies – the agency’s registration covers the access of only one line into the webinar. The handout will be emailed to you by Wednesday, November 6.
