Are you interested (or perhaps curious) about creating or presenting a NEDRA program or a Conference program but not quite sure where to begin? In this program, NEDRA members who have recently presented a NEDRA program or conference program will discuss the process and how they created their programs. You will hear about how they approached their presentations, their experiences, and some tips about submitting a NEDRA program. There will also be ample time for questions.

This is a FREE program that will be held as a Zoom meeting.  It will not be recorded.
