You can bring a laptop to take notes if you wish. Please be respectful of others by muting your laptop and cell phones during training.
If you are in need of an ADA accommodation for training and/or testing, please advise events@holdingthehope.com at least 2 weeks prior to training. We will work with you to ensure success!
