Professional Education Activities

We offer several types of continuing education programs each year, allowing participants to earn needed CPE at very reasonable prices:

• Regular chapter meetings -- We invite guest speakers for luncheon meetings, providing 1-2 hours of CPE

• Chapter training seminars -- More comprehensive half-day or full-day programs

• Regional professional development conference -- We participate in a 2-day regional professional development conference (PDC) in the spring

• The specific programs vary from year to year.

• If you have ideas for CPE programs you would like to see in the future, please call one of our officers
