In conjunction with the MS State University Extension Service Center for Government & Community Development, MML is excited to announce the upcoming CMO opportunity that will be traveling to a location near you this spring!
The class, "Workplace Harassment”, will be held at night and will include dinner, allowing an alternative time frame to receive CMO credits for those who have day-time duties that prohibit them from attending some of our other CMO opportunities that are usually held primarily during the day.
MML members will receive three CMO elective credits for attending any one of these classes.
Please see the attached registration form for details including registration deadlines, fees, and locations where the class will be offered.
