Most licensure boards, credentialing agencies and professional organizations have pro- cesses that allow individuals to earn a certain number of CEUs for non-pre-approved programs and/or accommodate self-submission for approval of continuing education hours after the event takes place with proper documentation from the program sponsors. Most also require information Aging Services of Minnesota already and routinely collects like the title of the course, learning objectives, dates and times of presentations, agendas, faculty bios, number of hours earned, etc. If you require information for this purpose, please contact Heidi Simpson in advance of the Institute for assistance.

Information on the status of approved credits will be made available in future issues of Monday Mailing, on www.agingservicesmn.org and onsite at the Institute.
