Heartland colleagues:
When I sent this message out the first time, it was unclear if non-NSGC members could join the webinar. I inquired (as did others), and NSGC has now opened up the webinar to all. :) I know that there were several who contacted me with interest. Everyone can join from their own computer. In fact, NSGC is interested to know who else joined (other than GCs) as it may determine future webinar topics.
The new info is below.
Thanks,
Lori Williamson Dean, MS, CGC, LGC
Program Coordinator, Heartland Genetics & NBS Collaborative
Assistant Professor, Department of Genetic Counseling
