Technology

Most programs will be video recorded for an online home study that can be purchased and downloaded about 2 weeks after the program. CBA-CLE also offers closed captioning for all programs and a transcript will be created.

Planning

• How will the program be marketed?

Your CBA-CLE Program Attorney will prepare ad copy for the program in consultation with the Program Chair and CBA-CLE marketing team. This information will be used to create a program registration page on the CLE Event Calendar.

The program will be advertised in several e-mails sent to legal community members/CBA members in the target practice area, on the CBA Community boards, and on social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook).

If you would like to receive a copy of the marketing time and all the marketing emails for your program, please let your CBA-CLE Program Attorney know.

• Will I receive feedback from attendees/program evaluations?

We always encourage attendees to fill out the program evaluations. CBA-CLE Program Attorneys will share all program evaluations with the Program Chair. We are happy to send attendee feedback to faculty related to their individual sessions – just let your Program Attorney know.
