Tentative plan for CPL workshop during the next meeting.

• Load all CFTDA members in the MAP CPL platform as “initiators” for their colleges.

• Conduct a “Fingers-on Training” (FOT) session for 2 hours after lunch to walk each college through the log in, query, and adoption process of currently approved CCC MAP Fire Technology (and EMS, and Wildland) exhibits into their college for CPL award for students.

• Answer all questions and concerns of CFTDA members about their internal district CPL processes, obstacles and impacts.
• Display the process in a screen share for members attending on Zoom, and help troubleshoot CPL adoption issues.

My ask is this:

• Designation of 2 hours after lunch for this team.

• The email’s of all attendees (or members) prior to the meeting, who would like to have a MAP CPL “Initiator” access log in.

• A means to break up the entire meeting room into groups so that CPL can meet and assist these groups in the FOT session.

• Request of all attendees to bring their laptops to the FOT session.
• Logistical items to support group computer access (Power sources, extension cords, internet bandwidth).

I know this is a heavy lift, and I am willing to do whatever I can to make this happen. I feel this event would  tie in nicely to the entire “Conference” motif of the Fresno experience.

I am thanking you all for your consideration of this request!
