With the outbreak of the pandemic in March of this year, IGSI moved all remaining educational opportunities to an online platform. Buoyed by the recent success of both our Celtic Connections Conference and the 2020 webinars, we are looking to increase the capabilities of our current webinar platform (like the ability to show videos during the webinar!).
The Education Committee is hard at work with fabulous webinars for 2021. To support them, our goal is to raise $ 2,000 between now and the end of the year. Will you join us? Help us reach members all around the world with exciting content and speakers!
It’s time to learn!
