Thursday, May 9, 2019 | 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EDT
This webinar will teach you how to design and successfully implement a staff training system as part of a sustainable indoor air quality (IAQ) management program.

Thursday, May 16, 2019 | 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EDT
This webinar will teach you how to design and successfully implement a strategy to identify, collect and use data with low-cost, easy-to-use tools (e.g., the School IAQ Assessment Mobile App) to start, improve or sustain a comprehensive IAQ and asthma management program. Through harnessing the power of evaluation, you will be equipped to make the case using a value proposition and a communications strategy that generate broader acceptance of, compliance with and funding for IAQ management, with a specific focus on reducing asthma triggers.
