Virtual Free Fall Fridays

The COVID-19 Coronavirus has forced all of us to reimagine how to effectively do our jobs while social distancing and respecting others’ rights to avoid exposure to this often-dangerous illness. The MPELRA Board canceled the quarterly meetings and the September 2020 Annual Training Conference to ensure we did not add to our members’ risks.  The committee members who plan the quarterly meetings and the annual training conference joined together to come up with a plan to continue offering professional learning opportunities to MPELRA members (and future MPELRA members).

MPELRA has scheduled FIVE free virtual training sessions on Fridays over the Fall for members and non-members so please share this notice with your colleagues/co-workers. Although there is no charge to attend, registration is required. Session titles and registration links are listed below.
