National Webinar Participation

February 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Well, my first webinar was last night.  I’m sending out the eval shortly for formal feedback but so far reports are good.

I was very happy to have a good crowd at the first webinar, 20 participants registered.  We had a group participating from one of the islands our district serves, a great use of the technology.

Next up,  getting more people from my district to participate!  Participants were from across the country – scroll down for map. Glad to have them, but I am a the Ballou Channing growth consultant.  ;-)

A number of people have emailed me who missed the deadline to register for this first Voluneer Recruitment webinar.  If there is sufficient interest I’ll look into a repeat performance.   I have set up a form you may use to suggest new webinars you’d like to see offered or request repeats of previous offerings.  FILL OUT  Event Suggestion Form
