***Earning Continuing Education Units***      
If you have attended a professional learning event outside of IAVAT sponsored events and need documentation to claim the Continuing Professional Development Units, please provide the event name, date, certificate of completion and agenda to Jennifer Waters at jwaters@ilaged.org. The IAVAT will then review the event to determine if credit can be issued.

Per the IAVAT Board Meeting on November 17, 2020, all continuing education units for professional learning should be requested within four weeks of the original event.
