This list, below, of no-cost professional development opportunities has been compiled by ACAAA staff for use by CAA managers and staff. They have been collected from the webinar listings included in the last five months of ACAAA’s newsletter, the “e-Action.”
The list can also be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet here.
This spreadsheet includes links, as well as workshop descriptions, the names of the organizations presenting the workshops, plus as any special instructions (for example, some webinars require setting up free accounts in order to view them, or filling out registration forms).
Please note: Many of these resources are in the form of archived recordings. Please send an email noting any inaccessible links to ACAAA Communications Director John Moran at jmoran (at) acaaa (dot) org. Also, feel free to send any webinars or other online training sessions of which you might be aware to John.
Thanks and happy learning!
