Volunteer Educational Webinars
Presented by the LMSC Development, Coaches and ALTS Committees
Volunteers, coaches, and instructors pose questions, discuss challenges, get answers, and share successes related to their roles. In turn, committees use the information shared to build a repository of best practices for coaches, instructors, and volunteers.
Mark your calendars for the next educational webinar(s)
