AFCA Educational Opportunities

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES

All non-meal lectures, featured at the AFCA convention, are classified as AFCA Professional Development Series (PDS). In some states, PDS credit can be used as professional development hours towards salary points and/or recertification.

The PDS is completed by attending a specified number of PDS-designated seminars. Participants will receive a PDS verification card upon arrival to the AFCA convention. Members will have their verification card stamped upon exiting each lecture. If the member has attended the specified number of lectures, then an AFCA/NCAA Professional Development Series Certificate of Completion will be mailed after convention.
