Handouts
In support of Area L AHEC’s continuing efforts to “go-green” we will no longer provide paper handouts at our continuing education events. However, handouts and presentation materials may be accessed electronically prior to these events. Prior to the program, participants will receive a link to handouts and other program resources via email. Participants are encouraged to download these presentations to their personal computer or flash drive to access during the event. Additionally, handouts for programs may be printed online and participants are welcome to bring a laptop, tablet, or other electronic device to view the handouts during the program. Free wireless Internet access is provided for programs held at Area L AHEC. We cannot guarantee Internet access for programs held off site. It is the participant’s responsibility to have installed anti-virus software and appropriate applications software for accessing online resources.
