Badge Program:
Basics:
Information to earn a specific badge will be taught over one or two educational meetings. You will then be evaluated in some way to see if you have learned the information before being presented with your badge. If you miss a meeting, but still want to earn the badge, this site will give you the information on what you need to know and where you can get the information.
