NADA Community Connection Hour
The Community Connection Hour is a virtual monthly event hosted by NADA Registered Trainer and Licensed Acupuncturist Victoria Taylor and selected guest speaker(s). During the hour we explore different topics in the NADA community and provide opportunities for education, connection and support for our members.
The Connection Hour is held on Zoom and is typically for members only. They are about an hour long, usually on the 1st Wednesday of the month, 8 PM (EDT). Registration is required.
The recording of these events have been reported to us as a good resource for our members.
