CE PROCESS & EVALUATIONS

MOPA will issue licensed professional CE credits for each educational and/or general session that participants attend at MOPA 2024 and participate in sessions for the appropriate amount of time.

In order to maintain the highest standards, we will require all attendees to:
1) sign in to each session AND
2) track session attendance on the CE worksheet in this conference booklet.

TRACKING YOUR CE’S THROUGHOUT THE CONFERENCE:

  • SIGN-IN SHEET: In each session, make sure to sign your name on the sign-in sheet passed around at the beginning of the course by the room proctor.

  • WORKSHEET: A CE worksheet has been included in your booklet. Throughout the conference, circle the sessions you attend and then tally up your total CE credits at the bottom. When you leave MOPA 2024, place this sheet in the bin.

TURNING IN YOUR CE’S FOR CREDIT:
When you leave MOPA 2025, please drop off your CE Worksheet at the Registration Booth.
