Registration Information
Registration for this training workshop is $20, which includes a hearty vegetarian pasta lunch. Space is limited to 50 participants, so early registration is strongly recommended. Due to space limitations, those agencies wishing to reserve space for more than two individuals should call in advance of registering to inquire about availability.
While much of the workshop will be held in a classroom setting, several presentations will include hands-on training in an outdoor farm setting with live animals. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in warm layers appropriate for farm conditions.
