In-Person Education Department Events

On-site, Instructor Led Training (ILT) is currently being reviewed and updated. The BMWED Education Department will resume ILTs in 2024.

For 2023, the Education Department will conduct online events. Your System Division or Federation may also have in-person training events planned.  If you have any questions or concerns with upcoming training, please contact your System Division or Federation officers or reach out to the Education Department at education@bmwe.org.

Online Events

Note: Webinars (the 1st set of events listed below) require you to register before you can join. Webinars allow for better tracking of attendance, offer more interactive features, and for multiple "Panelists" to present material. Registration is easy, just click the link.

Meetings (the 2nd set of events listed below) can be joined directly by clicking the link during the date and time they are listed to occur. Meetings offer more accessibility and a more open, discussion style of engagement, but less ability to track attendance, offer interactive features, or support multiple presenters.
