Making Wise Choices:  Guardianship Training Workshops sponsored by the
Florida Developmental Disabilities Council

Workshops for Professionals

Each Friday session is specifically structured for lawyers and other professionals.  This all-inclusive workshop  includes lunch, Continuing Education Credit for professionals (attorneys, professional guardians, support coordinators) and the opportunity to meet presenters, sponsors and fellow attendees during a "Meet and Greet"  Friday evening.

The workshops for professionals will be presented three times at three locations - Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Tallahassee - to allow for the widest dissemination of this important and comprehensive information.

Presenters for each workshop will be local experts, members of the project team and family members.

CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS
Attorneys:  An application has been approved for The Florida Bar for 7.5 hours of General Credit (including 2
