A Note from the Executive Director, Betsy Lantz
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/59194_02102020090245.jpg]After months of working with our website provider, we are finally able to provide you with vastly improved access to the archived webinars.  We thank you for your patience as we worked to enhance the functionality of this important aspect of our Continuing Education.  So, what’s new?   Archived Webinars now appears first in the drop down menu under Continuing Education on the website.  Next, and most importantly, we are now able to offer a Keyword Search function.  No more guessing at the title or the date or the Category!  The Category search function has been expanded to include Competencies.  We are however, still working on retrospectively assigning Competencies to the archives and should be done with that this summer.  The cost is indicated clearly at the top of each page.  The archives are displayed with a limited amount of text which can be expanded to the full description and the “Register” button is prominently displayed to the right of the text.  We hope the changes make the experience of viewing an archived webinar easier and less frustrating.  As always, if you have questions or comments, please let me know.  We hope you enjoy the new functionality and that you continue to benefit from the many and varied archives available to you.  Have a good week and stay well!  Happy viewing!
