CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE)

CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE: If you complete the paperwork, SSSS will issue you a Certificate of Attendance for the conference program. The Certificate of Attendance is awarded, at no additional cost, for attendance only and does not imply evaluation of learning.

CE COST: CE sessions marked with * at this conference are included in the registration fee. Doors close 15 minutes after the start of all CE sessions. Late arrivals will not earn CE.

INTENT: CE is intended to meet the needs of professionals with terminal degrees. Press are allowed to attend during conference CE only with permission of the CE chair and presenters. SSSS maintains the right to refuse registration to anyone whom we deem unqualified to attend. It is the professional's responsibility to determine the acceptability of these programs for specific licensure or certification needs.

APPROVAL BY PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR SSSS TO OFFER CONTINUING EDUCATION: SSSS strives to maintain approvals to offer CE from professional organizations. We have to adhere to criteria of those organizations. In all CE sessions, participants must sign in and out, complete a participant's satisfaction form, and complete an assessment of learning. Only those sessions noted as CE in the program meet the criteria for the approval organizations. For all approvals, CE credit may be awarded upon the completion of the session. SSSS maintains responsibility for the program.
