Are any of these sessions recorded? If so, where can we access the file to watch on our own schedule? If not will any of them be repeated? Thanks, Ruth Smith, UNH Extension

Re: How To Host Engaging Webinars: Advanced Topics (eXtension Members Only)
I tried to get on today's program for May 18th, but no luck. I could not find a link to connect to and I looked? I registered and was one of the people above that said yes I was attending. I am not sure that I did wrong, but I missed today's presentation and I do not want this to happen again with the other events. Please help me in what I may have missed in registering in order to connect

Re: How To Host Engaging Webinars: Advanced Topics (eXtension Members Only)
Hi Anne, I just looked at the registration list and it does not appear that you actually registered for this event. RSVPing here in Connect Extension is not the same as completing the registration. At the top of this calendar post, it says " eXtension Foundation Members can register for this event here in the Impact Collaborative group..." That link takes you to the registration page. Since you are from an eXtension member institution, you would have been able to access that and register.
