Subject: virtual professional development program
I wanted to let you all know about
an exciting virtual program that the SLA Environment & Resource
Management Division has organized. Please see details about the program
in the flyer that follows.
There are only a few weeks left to register. For the cost of one
registration, you can invite one or two colleagues to participate at your
PC. The topics covered will pertain to the environment, however,
this is also an opportunity to see how the PlaceWare software works and
learn more about this type of conferencing software. The program will
only take one hour of your time. Please consider participating.
