Hello all -

I received notice of this event and thought others may be interested in
participating.  Kay Dewey, Bruce Buckingham, and Kiran Saluja are the
speakers.  It is free to participate and it appears that CEUs will be
available for RDs and RNs (I'm not sure what one would need to do to
encourage IBLCE for CERPs to be awarded).  Registration must be completed
this week.  All of the other pertinent information is below.  If you're not
interested in this - please ignore.
