Videos of Past Events
We sincerely appreciate all those presenters who gave so generously of their time.
The Will Work For Food programs are presented primarily by and for attorneys, mediators and arbitrators. Each Thursday at 8am Pacific an amazing colleague joins us to give a webinar presentation about a timely topic. These programs are free. You can join us for all or one. We don’t ask you to pay for these invaluable webinars, instead we hope that you’ll make a donation of any size to your local food bank.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Do you need continuing education credits? Let us know which of the presentations you’ve viewed completely and we’ll send you a Certificate of Attendance for you to self-submit to your CE organization.
