Thank You for Your Support
CPF has long emphasized the importance of on-line learning and the utilization of digital platforms in education, training, and networking. Our organization has established a reputation as a tech-leader in this area throughout the state and the country. We curate a collection of more than 200 recorded webinars and host up to thirty events annually.
Please join us as we unveil a new slate of programming for the Spring and Summer months focused on People Power. Our staff–Cindy, Christine, and Jon–will be hosting a free Q&A webinar next Monday, March 30, to chat about changes to our upcoming conference and innovative opportunities for learning and education through September. REGISTER here to participate and meet with us LIVE online during this #stayhomechallenge.
FROM the VAULT: Once a month, CPF will release a popular recorded webinar from its Education & Training content library, a benefit of membership provided for free to the public through the summer. Our first release will be “The Architectural Styles & History Behind Disney’s Attractions.” This fun tour, a favorite for storytelling in architecture, includes six handouts in PDF format as well as the previously-recorded webinar. REGISTER here for your FREE content experience. Click “Get a Recording” to download. Available through April 30, 2020. Watch at your leisure and share with your friends! And thank you again for your support of CPF.
