AIOPA - Educational Materials
Presentations
The intent of this presentation is to walk us through the AoB history and then what are we doing as AIOPA and how. It’s an opportunity for us to absorb additional knowledge and also to ask questions to make sure we all feel confident about this effort. It can also be used in the future should new people join our team. The presentation is about 30min in length.
