The NGS continues to monitor changes in State Regulations that allow continuing education through live webinar formats. As a result, we have applied to two more states for approval of the NGS live webinars. In Minnesota, new regulations went into effect July 11, 2018 which acknowledge interactive courses can be live or remote via a webinar, teleconferencing or videoconferencing; the NGS has applied to the Minnesota Board for approval of the October webinars.  Vermont regulations permit continuing education programs conducted on-line; the NGS has applied to the Vermont Board for approval of the October - December webinars.
