Hello all,

We hope you have been weathering the pandemic and are safe and healthy. 
Our office is closed for in-person visits for now, but our staff is 
still providing training and assistance. We offer outdoor training and 
remote training until gathering indoors is safe again.

Below are our upcoming April remote workshops that may help you and 
your clients get ready for returning to “normal.”

All of our remote programs are easily accessed by calling our 
conference line at 312-809-1004, no pin required.

Please feel free to share this email with others!
