To make the best use of yours and the facilitator(s) time, and to allow the workshop setting to be most effective for you, we expect you to attend the entire session. You will need to completely clear your calendar on these dates as any absence during the session will greatly detract from your experience. Because we need to confirm with the facility the number of attendees, should you choose to cancel your reservation for a workshop/training less than five days before the start of the workshop and we can’t secure a replacement for your spot, we will ask you to reimburse Nebraska Extension for your meal and lodging package.
