Technical Information
This webinar runs on join.me and does not require any special software. Audio will come through your phone. The day before the webinar, you will receive the link to the join.me room as well as the phone number to call.
Registration
There is no cost ($0) to attend these webinars but registration is necessary. During registration, when asked for a form of payment, simply select “Pay by check later” and you will not be billed. This is a quirk of the registration system and is being addressed.
