Did You Know? 

LPCANC First Fridays

 

Each week, we will bring you a LPCANC membership tip that you can use to get the most out of your membership.  Here is this week’s tip of the week.

 

A benefit of being a LPCANC member is that you have the opportunity to receive 12 hours of free CE’s to go towards your continuing education requirements to remain licensed.

 

If you are a student and do not need CE’s yet, the free CE hours will assist you in gaining more knowledge about this profession you are about to embark on! It is a win-win situation for both our professional and student members. This benefit saves you money on buying outside CE’s because for only $130.00 per year (professional members), you receive 12 hours per year.

 

This is a $180 value as each CE for a non-member is $15 each!  Each First Friday is held on the first Friday of each month.  Please check our website, monthly newsletters, and now our weekly E-blast for when the next First Friday will be held and how to register. 

 

Pre-registration is required for all First Friday events. 

 

If this is not enough, LPCANC periodically offers additional professional development trainings in the middle of the month. Members pay a reduced rate of $10per CE for for these PDC events! 

 

We hope to see you at our next First Friday on December 2, 2022.
