The staff at the University of Missouri Delta Center have gotten together to provide 4 days of hands-on CCA training during the week of September 12-15. Every day will be a bit different, and you can pick and choose which sessions you attend. Each day has someone different in charge and they will be running their "own show". The number of credit hours will vary from day to day, and CEU’s are pending. All sessions will start at 9:00 AM at the Delta Center. Sessions will adjourn at differing times, but are not designed to fill the entire day, as work is still busy this time of year.
