Mandatory ABC/M Delegate/Tech Orientation

All Pre-ABM trainings have been completed. Individuals who did attend the LIVE pre-trainings do not need to attend the training on day 1.

The next opportunity for training is on Day 1 of the ABM at 8 a.m. Central Time. (See the Schedule)

  • If you are a registered ABM attendee who missed the trainings, and would like to watch recordings, please email johnd@slaafws.org.
  • Watching the recordings does not waive the requirement for attending a live training.
