Our staff have done a great job converting our trainings to be offered online, including breaking them up into shorter sessions to reduce the “Zoom fatigue” we’re all struggling with and finding ways to do active learning in the online format. A silver lining of moving online has been seeing more participants from “out-state” locals, which we hope continues and expands this year.
Below you’ll find a calendar of workshops to be offered this year. Our Workshop Catalog provides descriptions for each session.
