Advantages of Connecting with the Network

On-Demand Training

Members can access Wise’s Learning Management System, which contains detailed trainings on benefits programs and recordings of past Network meetings for reference and continuing education. Viewed trainings may qualify for CEUs. 

These meetings do not qualify as CEUs for Virginia Commonwealth University [VCU].

Continuing Education and Networking Opportunities

The cohort meets monthly on Zoom to learn from subject matter experts addressing issues relevant to the clients we serve. These sessions foster valuable networking opportunities and help keep members current on service changes and news. Network members may earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through participation. 

Directory and Tools

Network members have access to a comprehensive member directory, complemented by website tools and resources, designed to assist planners in effectively supporting their clients.
