This workshop will be 100% virtual. Participants will be provided with a Zoom link before the event.

** There will be a pre-workshop reading and a short response for all participants - this work combined with the actual virtual workshop, will satisfy the 5-hr requirement to be used for recertification. **

BONUS: Every attendee will receive a copy of My Monticello in the mail after the program, for free!
