Additional Information

• Please familiarize yourself with the Virtual Community Guidelines!

• We use the same learning materials in past workshops. If you attended a workshop with the same description, the materials presented will be the same. However, if you need a refresher on that specific topic, please feel free to join the workshop again!

• The Zoom link will be sent out before the event. The meeting link will be open 30 minutes before the workshop starts for attendees to test their setup (e.g. is your audio working?).

• Please only sign up if you can attend the workshop and please cancel your Eventbrite ticket if you can no longer attend the workshop. Please be respectful of these guidelines so that we can continue to offer such programs at no cost.
