2020 NFRC Upcoming Webinars
NFRC’s 2020 Virtual Committee Meeting was not only a resounding success, but also productive -- we addressed five ballots. With the quick transition to a virtual meeting, we were not able to deliver some of the presentations scheduled for the face-to-face meeting. However, these valuable informational sessions still are available for our members online.
Over the coming months, have scheduled a series of webinars on the following topics:
- FenStar – Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - This session will provide an update on the FenStar program including verification testing from 2019 and 2020, and review the changes to the verification testing documents.
- Influencer Mapping – Thursday, June 11, 2020 – Learn how to expand and maximize your social media network and build NFRC’s brand footprint within stakeholder communities.
- Retailer Program Introduction- Tuesday, July 21, 2020 – Preview the training that will be available to all members. The session covers a brief introduction to NFRC, how to understand the label, and how to use the CPD and ratings to close the sale with customers.
- LEAFF – Tuesday, August 11, 2020 This session will demonstrate the new LEAFF Trendline methodology and share the processes involved with this methodology.
- CMAST – Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2020 - This session discusses the commercial landscape, solutions and support, and offers an educational segment on CMAST as a system.
