CPA-NA Sponsored Discussion Groups, Workshops & Trainings
Not all CPA-NA events are recorded. When we record, we do not capture breakout rooms and are very mindful of any times when peopel are sharing personal information.
If you’d like to see available recordings of previous talks and workshops, watch them here.
Please do not be late. CPA-NA event Zoom rooms close five minutes after event start times to facilitate community and reduce interruptions.
