Subject: virtual professional development program

I wanted to let you all know about an exciting virtual program that the SLA Environment & Resource Management Division has organized. Please see details about the program in the flyer that follows.

There are only a few weeks left to register. For the cost of one registration, you can invite one or two colleagues to participate at your PC.  The topics covered will pertain to the environment, however, this is also an opportunity to see how the PlaceWare software works and learn more about this type of conferencing software. The program will only take one hour of your time.  Please consider participating. Linda Vida, Past-chair, ERMD
