Affiliate President-Elect Training

2022 President Elect Training

Unfortunately due to the continued prevalence of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to switch our in-person training to a virtual training again this year. The training will take place over the course of four days via the WebEx platform. Our first session will be introductions of staff and all of you, as well as optional networking via breakout rooms. This will give us all a chance to test the platform, get to know each other, and become more comfortable as we enter into the training content.

All sessions will start at 1pm ET/12pm CT/11am MT/10am PT/9am AK/8am HI, and will last no more than 3 hours. Please mark your calendars for the following dates:

January 20
January 21
