What is required of you as an RSS Contact

Nothing at this time!

CCEHS has added a session with a title that includes "Required Annual Evaluation" to each series. If you've received an email indicating this session has been approved, please ignore.  No action from you is required.  Please leave the session as-is and do NOT delete.  Additionally, you do NOT need to create any sessions related to the evaluation process and you do NOT need to provide an SMS code to learners or add participants for this session.

Optional

You may want to alert participants of your series that an annual mandatory evaluation will be forthcoming.  An announcement document is attached for your convenience if you'd like to utilize it.

Timing 

Learners will have from November 16 - December 31, 2021 to complete the evaluation process.
