OBOA offers an extensive schedule of events for members and colleagues to earn their CEUs.

To receive ICC CEUs for your attendance, each participant must attend the class in its entirety (i.e. all six hours of instruction); partial credit is not available. This is a requirement set by ICC. A sign-in and out sheet will be distributed for each class. Attendance is tracked for each session (for CEUs) by the times you log in and log out. It is each registrant's responsibility to accurately record their attendance at programs.
