Not sure why OMSA is ignoring the fact that NOMC?s can also receive CEU?s for participating in this event. Maybe folks on this distribution list can participate and ask that we be given the same consideration. In fact, given the subject matter, might be a very good idea to have some blind cane travel instructors participate to be sure that accurate information is being discussed.
