Recent Online Trainings

I have to do these every year. You might also, in some manner. 

They are required in order to ensure that ACC is in compliance with federal and/or state law. They've contracted out with Vector Solutions to implement them. 

So you can file these under
- federalism
- supremacy clause
- unfunded mandates (I think)
- privatization

In addition to the subject matter of each training.

Cheers:
