Good news! Now when you pre-register for a BRHD Outreach Network training or event, it will automatically be added to your Outlook calendar. You will also receive a confirmation email reminding you to add it to your calendar in the event you do not use Outlook. I hope this will be helpful for everyone. As always, reach out with questions, concerns, and feedback.
