What have other participants found valuable about this course?
“The instructors did a fantastic job explaining the content. Learning about the resources available was extremely beneficial.”
“Reviewing what other groups are doing and how they are organized was most beneficial. I walked away thinking about everything from funding and legal requirements and considerations with a better understanding of how things can be organized and possibly funded. This was, by far, one of the best, if not the best, online class I’ve attended in years. The instructors were very engaging throughout the presentation and inclusive in every way. I particularly enjoyed the informal Q&As and polls to check knowledge and understanding. Kudos to the team!”
