GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Workshop attendees desiring CLE credit will be required to sign in on the attendance sheet for each workshop session they attend as well as complete a Certificate of Attendance and fill out a short survey. Those licensed in multiple states should fill out a Certificate of Attendance for each state they are licensed.

Questions on CLE credits should be directed to Peter Smith at psmith@clsnet.org.
