*A notice of each Continuing Education Committee meeting will be emailed a few days prior to the meeting so licensed staff have the opportunity to get their completed forms turned in.
*Review the Continuing Education Licensure Areas (pg.1) carefully before submitting your Continuing Education Clock Hours Approval Form (pg.2).
