CE FORM
Your CE form will be included in the Program Book that will be in your conference bag you received on site.  The CE form is page 19 & 20 in the program book. 
You simply tear out the 2 sided form, fill in the sessions you attended on the first side, then on the other side you fill in your total hours and contact information, then sign the form.  Please retain the CE form for your future reference when you need to apply for re-licensure per your state.  The form has already been signed by ACVC.

If you did not retain the program book and need another CE form you will need to send an email request to the office, attendee@acvc.org.  Please allow up to 2 weeks for a response as we need to verify your attendance before we can send you the CE form.
