Continuing Education
Make the most of your CHI experience by earning continuing education (CE) credits! By attending designated educational sessions, eligible participants can earn credits toward licensure, certification, or professional development in multiple disciplines.
How to Find CE-Eligible Sessions:
Credit Types Available:Participants may earn:
- Up to 16.2 CPE (NASBA Sponsoring Organization -- Accounting/Finance)
