Cost of Continuing Education Courses
 

It seems that many posting here are conerned that the costs of these continuing seminars will be to high. That there will be persons or organizations out to make a buck at the professional's expense. That is what our professional associations are supposed to be for. As the Educational Chairman for the Virginia Association, we have always provided seminar & educational opportunities at a fair and economical price and we will continue to do so. If your state or national engineering or architectural associations are not presently doing this, then you need to elect new leadership. With only needing 16 hours over a two period, I just don't see a financial hardship.
