Discussion Group Changes

Effective 5/4/23, the Community of Practice Discussion Groups are changing from seven topic-driven groups to one email listserv. The listserv address is: CAP-COP@umn.edu. The listserv is to be used as an online resource where the CA community can ask questions, as well as contribute ideas and constructive solutions. The listserv is for CA use only; it is a private listserv that all CAs will be assigned. When you send emails to the listserv, do not share sensitive information or identifiable details. Try to ask or respond to questions in a generic way.  

CE credit guidelines are still an option for posing/answering questions. Please see the Certified Approval site for details: certifiedapprover.umn.edu

For questions, please contact RIACT@umn.edu
