1. I am interested in your webinar and want to know how many Continuing Education Credits are available?

2. Hello Carolyn, thanks for your interest. We do not sponsor any CE credits for our web conferences, but many people do use them that way under arrangements they make themselves with the certifying agency in question.

3. Is there any way I can get a copy of the power point that will be used for the conference?

   Thank you!
