Co-sponsorship is encouraged, but hours produced will count only for the lead co-sponsoring section or committee.
Note, if you have previously recorded programs that are still current and relevant, you may ask for an accreditation extension beyond the original two years in lieu of recording a new program. However, the extended program hours will not count toward the hours of new programming requested above. See extension request form on ISBA CLE coordinator webpage
Webcasts are encouraged as a way to address “hot topics” and a way to capture high quality programming for the popular on-demand CLE catalog where most of ISBA CLE hours are delivered.
