PD Weeks have traditionally been our busiest weeks of seminar offerings. Held in various regions throughout the province, members experience expanded learning and networking opportunities, all in one place.
While current health and safety protocols prevent us from organizing in-person PD Weeks this year, we felt that this was a fall tradition that should continue – albeit in a virtual meeting venue. Additionally, members all over the province can participate in our two PD Weeks this year without travel cost and time. PD Weeks 2020 may not have the traditional look and feel to it, but attendees will continue to receive the same valuable professional and personal development they have come to expect.
