Refresher and Distance Courses
The refresher and distance courses that are currently offered online have been very well received. Videos are being taped at the SSM SAH site, and the online course is scheduled to be complete April 1, 2018.
The cost of the online course will remain the same as the current classroom course, and a refresher will be required after five years. Course coordinators will no longer be used, but we will roll out a facilitator program offering the current coordinators to continue on if they choose. As facilitators, they will be responsible for answering student questions and explaining chapter information via online chat or email.
Translation of the workbook and textbook to French has begun. Talks of uniting the Lambda and Theta chapters have ceased as members have stepped forward.
Meetings were held via teleconference March 13, and we will be having a teleconference May 27. The AGM will take place via OTN on May 24, and training for a new online course for facilitators will be held May 26.
