2021 Virtual Spring Conference
Online
Our in-person Spring Conference was cancelled because of ongoing meeting restrictions due to COVID-19. However, we are pleased to offer a Virtual Spring Conference on May 21st from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm that will offer 5 hours of continuing education credit.
Continuing Education Hours
We will be registering the 2 hours of TOS credit through the CPIM portal. At the end of the conference, we’ll provide the passwords you’ll need to register the TOS hours in the CPIM portal.
For your AOS hours, we’ll provide Denise Carr an electronic log of all who participated in this Zoom conference. Denise will then assign the 3 credit hours you’ll be eligible for.
All hours should be available for review/confirmation in the weeks prior to the conference. If you have issues with getting your hours, simply contact us and we’ll work with the AOS & TOS offices to confirm attendance.
Below is a brief description of the courses we are offering. A more detailed description, including speaker bios will follow as we near the date.
