Things to know about the Northwest Institute
|
Out of respect for our donor dollars, this event has been planned with an eye toward creating the most comprehensive training event possible for the least cost and the least environmental impact. You will see this demonstrated by the facilities selected and the training methodologies. By making those choices, more volunteers and employees can be trained in on how to provide vital services. You will have a choice between three tickets: Northwest (East) Institute Commuter - $25, Northwest (East) Institute Overnighter - $45, or Northwest (East) Private room - $193. If you have questions, please email Jillian Wright at [email protected].
