Mary Poppins Meets COVID-19:  How to Be a ‘Practically Perfect’ Advocate

With Christine Riley  & Jennie DunKley   

Running a successful, efficient practice is challenging in the best of times. We will show you how to apply best practices in these pandemic times. Ideally suited for new advocates as well as seasoned professionals who are looking to “up their game,” Jennie and Christine will share their tips and strategies for managing client, district and professional relationships, as well as client on-boarding, meeting and due process preparation, all while keeping our eye on the I of IEP. We will be sharing our spoons full of sugar – the documents, forms and business tools we keep in our “Mary Poppin’s” bag.

This presentation is a LIVE Webinar

10:00am to 12:00 pm

Registration closes September 29th
