Lunch 'N Learn sessions were developed in 2015 as a way to help busy MVMA members obtain CE credits without having to leave work. The free one-hour members-only sessions will be held monthly. Most Lunch 'n Learns will provide participants with two attendance options: 1) live in the MVMA conference room or 2) via webinar. The MVMA conference room provides space for 15-20 live attendees; and 24 webinar spaces are available. Space will be first come; first served. Specific attendance options are found with the details of each session listed below. The sessions are FREE and only available for MVMA members. Attendees typically receive 1 interactive CE credit.
Please contact the MVMA office at info@mvma.org or 651-645-7533 to register for the session you wish to attend.
Is there a topic you would like to see covered at a future Lunch 'n Learn session? – Please let us know!
