As such, participants may elect to discontinue attendance and/or seek supportive or professional services and resources.
*Confirmation CE letters/certificates* will be mailed after the program is completed and only to those participants who request and pay for continuing education hours. Letters and/or certificates will display the name of the attendee, program title, the number of CE hours awarded, and the date of completion. The presentation(s) and the name(s) of the presenter(s) will be listed if an itemized letter has been requested (only where available). The stamped Continuing Education Form should include *the desired address* where CE letters/certificates are to be mailed. Please allow 4-6 weeks for standard processing (major conference events may take 8-12 weeks). Any requests for expedited letters or reprints may result in additional fees.
