HOW THE TELECONFERENCES (AUDIO SESSIONS) WORK

After registering for the session, you'll receive an e-mail confirming your
participation. Three days from the date of the session you will receive a
second e-mail with a toll-free phone number to call at the time of the
program, and any materials the speaker wants distributed. If materials are
sent they are usually used directly in the call. At the appointed time, you
phone the toll free number. The conference operator will record your
participation and the call begins. Presenters have different styles of
presentation but there is always opportunity for you to raise your
questions.
