How do Kathy Brunsma and I sign up to be with you at your next Paraprofessional Coference?
Hi Kay! The registration forms for this year’s Paraprofessional Forum Annual Conference will be posted here shortly…you are welcome to join us this year! If you can’t make it, please check back in February of next year for registration forms and information. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Where online can I find the class that you have to pay the $350.00 to receive a certificate?
Jean, I’ve done some searching but can’t come up with the name of the organization you described. Do you have any additional information that you recall (what type of certificate it was, who issued the certificate, etc.) that might lead us to the answer? Thank you!
Jean,
I know there is a Certified Public Library Administrator (CPLA) Certification Program through the ALA that costs $250 for members and $350 for non-members. Perhaps, this is what you were looking for?

Hope this helps.
Here’s one for paraprofessionals called
Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program:

I’m enrolled in the LSSC program if anybody would like to ask me any questions about my experiences in it so far.
