The EDEN Professional Development Committee accepts webinar proposals on a continuous basis. EDEN webinars must address a disaster-related topic in one of Extension’s main program areas: Agriculture, Nature Resources, Community Development, Family and Consumer Sciences, 4-H Youth Development, and Sea Grant. Preference is given to webinars led by an EDEN Delegate. EDEN does not accept webinars promoting outside organizations, products, or for-profit services.

Webinars are held on the second Tuesday of every month at 1pm Eastern/Noon Central/11am Mountain/10am Pacific.

To submit a webinar proposal for review, complete the following form: https://registry.extension.org/232973045746059. The submission form requires the webinar title, a short description of the webinar that will be used for marketing purposes, the name of each presenter, a brief bio(s) for presenter(s), and a headshot photo.
