Webinars

WDA will be using a new CLE format:  the webinar.  In addition to being extremely cost effective, which means that we are able to present more CLE programs in a year, this format should allow for a much better experience than the teleseminars that we have been holding.

Joining a webinar is extremely easy and just requires you to follow the instructions in the email that you will be sent.

These are answers to some of the questions that you may have.  Please contact Alycia Delmore at wda@defensenet.org for further information.
