This is the video recording of the main presentation from a collaborative online workshop led by Harry Webne-Behrman and Darin Eich.

Online Workshop Webinar Description: Communities of Practice (CoP’s) have been increasingly valuable elements of professional development over the past twenty years, present in many industries. CoP’s are learning communities largely organized by their members, fostering honest, trusting relationships to focus on elusive challenges. In these unprecedented times, CoP’s offer a unique way for us all to connect with one another, support one another in new work environments, learn together, and solve pressing problems across departments and disciplines. This highly interactive Webinar will allow us to experience how CoP’s can help us focus on our priorities and continue to develop our skills, all within a highly engaging learning approach.
