GAWP VIRTUAL FALL CONFERENCE SERIES
Why does my video have to be on?
22
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual training was not an option for receiving recertification points. Since we’ve all had to make adjustments this year in order to provide training opportunities for the water sector, the Georgia Board of Examiners for the Certification of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators and Laboratory Analysts has made an allowance for virtual training; however, in order to receive your points, we need to physically see you attending the sessions so your video camera must be on and you must be visible on camera. Please do not aim the camera at the ceiling, off to the side, etc. If you need to step away for moment that is fine but you do need to be present and visible on camera. Do you really have to see my face on screen? Yes, we really do! If your video isn’t on, or you aren’t visible in the video screen, we cannot award you points for the session(s).
What if I am viewing the session with others at my facility, who have registered? Can we have multiple people logged in on one account? If you have a group of attendees at your location, who will be sharing a room (or rooms) to participate in sessions for the Virtual Fall Conference Series, please visit the conference registration page (www.gawp.org/events), click on the Annual Conference registration link, and scroll down the page to find the ‘Groups’ option to fill out the group participation form. You can call the office (770-618-8690) or email memberservices@gawp.org for more assistance. Is there a recertification points form? No, there isn’t a form that you need to fill out. We will have a record of everyone that signed on to watch the session, including how long you were online, so you need to be there for the full two-hour session (there will be no partial points awarded).
