Lunch & Learn With Lori & Kristi - Monthly Live Webinars
Join Lori and Kristi on the Fourth Wednesday every month from 1 - 2 p.m. for a fun and informative live webinar covering things that make notaries go “WTH???” We’ll dive into the weird stuff, the frustrating stuff, and the stuff that somehow has never made a whole lot of sense. Each month will feature a different area of notary practice with the goal of improving your understanding of the why behind the requirements and increasing your confidence as you face the stark raving realities of general notary work.
Everybody welcome! Link to the Zoom Room will be posted one day prior to the session.
