SMFBA Required Classes- ATLAS Webinars

We encourage all of our agencies that are not already using ATLAS to RSVP for one of our upcoming webinars. ATLAS is a free online client tracking system that is available to all our agencies for use to track and run reports on clients. A recorded ATLAS webinar will be available for viewing on the Partner Agency webpage on Monday, January 23 for agencies to access anytime. We are also hosting 2-LIVE ATLAS webinars on Wednesday, February 15 and Monday, February 27 for agencies that would like to participate in a LIVE question and answer session. 

Visit our Partner Agency webpage to RSVP today! Space is limited to the first 10 people for the LIVE webinars so act fast. The RSVP is located in the Resource & Training Center button under SMFBA Required Classes. We will be offering additional LIVE ATLAS webinars in the coming months to help agencies with the transition, so be sure to visit our Partner Agency webpage regularly for future dates.

Webinars require access to a desktop computer and Internet so please make the appropriate accommodations to prepare. These webinars are open to all agencies.
