Walking Advocates
Safe Routes C.A.N. Webinars
Valuable presentations are offered monthly on a wide variety of hot-button topics. Webinars are FREE and are designed to educate individuals and organizations about safe routes to school. We have selected topics that lead to successful grassroots action, including how to attract and collaborate with important partners in your effort. Each Webinar lasts 60 minutes and includes a Feature Presentation and a National Update. The calls include an opportunity to pose questions of the presenters and see real-time polls of the meeting attendees.
A web seminar, or “Webinar” is a conference call accompanied by a real-time presentation using a computer connected to the Internet. After registering for the Webinar, you’ll receive a toll-free telephone number and access code via email. Webinars enable engaging and high-quality experience for conference call presentations. They offer features such as polling, question & answer, and recording for playback. (If you don’t have access to an Internet-enabled computer at the time of the call, please request an advance copy of the materials so you can follow along with telephone only.)
