Plenty of Learning Opportunities Available!
2015 has begun with some very interesting and useful learning opportunities by extension! Here I have included upcoming ones on various topics as well as recent learning events in January and early February which have a recording available. New events have recently been added to Learn.extension.org so check there as more related events are included. These learning events are open to all who are interested… check each event listing to see if there is registration needed before the event. Share with your colleagues, clientele, etc. since participation is online from a home, office, etc.
