SMALL GROUP IMPACT WEBINAR
We are also offering a DISCOUNTED PRICE for small groups of coaches from the same club/organization who wish to gather at one location, with access via one log-in/internet connection and one phone line. This special price is $350 for a group of up to 10 coaches. Please pass this on to your Club Director's and encourage them to contact us for more details if interested, or they may register for the group on line at the same link as above.

Once individuals or small groups register online, they will receive a confirmation email with Webinar log-in instructions and links to the pertinent materials for their chosen date. Students will need a laptop or desktop computer and a phone line for the 800 number call to access the audio portion of the presentation (a speakerphone option is best for this, or a headset that can plug into your phone – or into your computer if using that to call into the webinar).

Immediately after each Webinar session (Part 1 & 2), attendees will receive an on-screen Webinar evaluation survey, and another email with follow within 2 days with the online testing instructions. IMPACT students will have 2 weeks following the Webinar to take and pass the IMPACT test online. At the end of the 2 week period, USAV will issue IMPACT certificates via email to coaches with passing test scores - and will copy that coach's home Region Office as well.

A further schedule for additional IMPACT Webinar dates for the remainder of 2007 and into 2008 will be released following the November Webinars.
