Will there be another one of these at a later date?
There will not, but the webinar will be archived so that you can view it at your convenience. Usually it takes staff at EHSNRC and the ECLKC a few months to get the archived webinar up, but if you look here, I will post it once it is there. Also, you can subscribe to alerts through the ECLKC to receive updates about postings on the website.
