NICA Online Leader's Summit - Risk Management (1 hr)
2024-05-22 19:00 - 20:00, 2024-05-08 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Boise)
NICA’s coach education staff host online leaders’ summits throughout the year. These one-hour, live Zoom workshops are hosted at a variety of times/dates to accommodate coaches’ busy schedules. Coaches can complete the four core summit sessions in any order over the course of time. We keep track of attendance, but encourage participants to also track which sessions they complete.
To achieve a Level 3 license, coaches must attend all four core sessions of the NICA Leaders’ Summit. The Coach Education team tracks attendance using Zoom’s attendance reports. Once you’ve attended all four sessions, your Pit Zone profile will be updated within one week of finishing your final session.
If you are already a Level 3 coach, or you are a Level 2 coach looking for CEUs, you can attend sessions individually for 1 CEU each. Please inform the NICA coach education department if you are taking any workshops for CEUs. Instructions are provided at the beginning of each session.

An online (classroom) OTB 101 course, located in the NICA Education Center
