Continuing Education and Community Engagement

Continuing education opportunities are held on the first Tuesday of each month over the lunch hour, with periodic evening sessions as well. Our First Tuesdays are a great avenue for hosting training and providing volunteers with an opportunity to learn, review cases and network with one another.
