Why 2023 is Your Year for Continuing Education
You’re coming out of the pandemic (kind of, sort of). You have a hunger to re-engage. You see things now that were previously hidden, and you have questions that need to be explored – through personal reflection, through intentional action, and in the context of a safe, welcoming, supportive learning community.
Yup, it sounds like you’re ready for some continuing education. Lucky for you, we have some amazing opportunities coming up!
CCS Fridays
Every month we offer a free online one-hour guest presentation and discussion about a topic that interests us, and maybe you too. A quick and easy way to spark some thoughts. Watch the CCS website for information about upcoming CCS Fridays (or for videos from past ones).
