Each participant must complete the respective Google Form for each session to receive credit for professional development. Upon completing each Google Form, the participant will receive a unique link to that session's PD verification documents. Following the conference, Tiffany Tucker, Professional Development Coordinator can be contacted to email PD verification documents to each paid registrant who attended each respective session/ meeting.
