1.    How do I participate in an NFDA Teleconference?

All you need is a telephone - although a speakerphone is recommended for the best sound quality and so that other staff may participate.

NFDA Teleconferences are led by the experts you want to hear from in funeral service, and provide the opportunity for you to ask questions during the event. A few teleconferences each year may be free informational offerings that do not confer CE. Teleconferences are usually scheduled 1-2 p.m. CST or 1-3 p.m. CST.

1. A First Registration entitles your firm to a single phone connection and CE for the registrant only for CE events. You must have an email address to register (contact NFDA at 1-800-228-6332 if you have a question). There is a separate fee for each additional participant requesting CE.
2. Instructions are made available via email after your registration is processed. Save the email and follow the instructions the day of the event.
   
   Instructions include:
   • your dial-in number and passcode
   • one master event handout for you to download and print
   • attendance verification form (CE Sign-in Sheet)
   • evaluation
     
     The first registrant has permission to make handout copies for the number of additional participants participating in one room.
3. On the day of the event simply follow dial in instructions to join the speaker and your colleagues.

It is the individual participant's responsibility before registering for any NFDA course or event to verify that it is currently approved for CE in the state in which the individual is licensed.

2.    What happens during a teleconference?

Once you have called in and entered your passcode in response to the operator's cues, you will be welcomed into the teleconference to listen to the presentation via your phone. Audience lines are muted during the presentation. For most live teleconferences, when the speaker invites audience questions, lines will be opened and you will be given simple instructions to participate. Some non-CE teleconferences are for informational purposes only.
