Training Committee Positions

The training committee aids the administrative staff of NBFE by recruiting presenters for NBFE trainings, especially webinar presenters.  Training committee members keep their eyes open for presenters who present on topics that are clearly related to forensic mental health and are high-quality.  They then invite the presenter to submit a proposal for a webinar using our online proposal submission system.  Committee members should budget a minimum of 4 hours a month towards their volunteer duties.

Position 3: Training Committee Chair
