PRESENTATION & MATERIALS 
Class size is limited to 20 people to provide maximum opportunity for participants to benefit from the instructor-led multimedia activities. For the virtual sessions each participant receives an email that includes the Zoom log in details and an attachment with materials needed for class.

CERTIFICATION

• The program certification includes seventeen (17) individual modules designed to be completed by attending four consecutive, two-day sessions or four three-hour interactive virtual sessions per module. These sessions are offered once or twice each year (as necessary) in person and virtually over a two-year period. Because the modules need not be taken in sequence, a participant may stop or miss a session if an emergency prevents regular attendance, and re-enter when space in the program is available. 
• You are a Leader Only if Others Follow:  is a pre-requisite for all other modules. This is scheduled prior to some of the modules to allow new participants to begin the program. Subsequent modules may be taken in any sequence. First timers must complete You are a Leader Only if Others Follow first. Modules 1 - 4 may be taken in any order.
