In addition, many of the courses will give you a Certificate of Attendance for CEU credits for dieticians and CFRE credits for fundraisers.

SESSIONS, INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS & INSTITUTES

During the Conference, the Leadership Academy offers three types of educational instruction.

Concurrent Sessions explore topics in each key subject area listed above. Each session is worth one credit towards your Meals on Wheels Leadership Academy Certificate unless it is a two-part session, for which you will earn three total credits for attending both. 

Intensive Workshops are designed to go more in depth into a topic of discussion and are worth three credits towards your Meals on Wheels Leadership Academy Certificate.

Institutes go one step further than Intensive Workshops and are worth four credits towards your Meals on Wheels Leadership Academy Certificate when you attend all sessions involved.
