CMG CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE) HOURS
Because of Covid 19, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service waived the limit of three hours of CE that can be obtained via online courses and presentations. Until the waiver is rescinded, CMG members can watch approved recorded videos/webinar presentations online and log the hours toward the minimum 12 CE hours needed to recertify. A list of the approved recorded presentations/webinars will be maintained in the table below.
