INARF ON-LINE: July 13, 2022 Membership Benefit Available 24/7: INARF DSP Webinar Series Recordings During the busy schedules of rotating summer vacations and staff coverage, we know that attending a training at a specific time just might not fit into your schedule or your team’s. That’s why we provide a benefit available 24/7 to fit into even the most hectic schedule. The DSP Series Webinars are designed for DSPs but available to anyone within the membership who will benefit from the content. They are recorded, uploaded to the Member Portal with the PowerPoint and any handouts, and available to watch at any time. There are a wide variety of topics that make great inclusions for training needs, whether it’s onboarding, continuing professional development, or a marketing tool for recruitment. We have linked the two most recent webinars below, and encourage you to login to the Member Portal for a full listing of DSP Series Webinar recordings going back to 2019. - Removing Toxicity in the Workplace - Friends or Friendly: A Deep Dive into a Difficult Topic If someone on your staff would like a profile to access the INARF Member Portal, please reach out to Kim Wasiak at kwasiak@inarf.org.
