What’s a webinar? Wikipedia says it’s a "neologism (new word) to describe a specific type of conference, typically one way…" In January 2010, the Insurance Board began its web conferencing series in order to reach participants from Maine to Hawaii with critical training for church leaders. That’s better than a "webinar" because our conferences are interactive. You can talk, chat and respond to questions. It’s free. All you need is your PC and an internet connection.
The Insurance Board will continue the conference series in Fall, 2011, to include new subjects and revised previous programs. Your input regarding future topics is welcome. In the meantime, recorded sessions are available. See the list below.
