Pre-Recorded Webinar Series

The PDG Pre-recorded Webinar Series is a great way to train your office on current issues without ever leaving the office or having to meet at a scheduled time. These sessions were all recorded during the actual calls in July of 2006. Listen to these informed speakers at your own pace and train the whole office staff for only $95 for each Webinar. When you purchase a pre-recorded Webinar, you’ll download a “Flash Macromedia” sound/image file that coordinates the presentation audio with the handout slides. (Exception: for the Bankruptcy session you will receive only an audio file). You will also receive the handouts in a PDF to follow along and take notes. It’s a great way to obtain this critical information and pass along the info to your staff with minimal expense. It’s almost like being on the actual Webinar.

All You Need to Know About Bankruptcy
 Chad Echols – Williams and Fudge, Inc.

Bursars Basics Series
Barry Greenberg – Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

PDG presents a unique opportunity. In a quick 1 hour format, you can listen to, participate in, and laugh at some of the most significant issues facing the recently appointed or even the seasoned Bursar. Topics such as customer service, internal control, e-commerce, privacy regulations, management, cashiering and collections will be covered. Come prepared to interact with your fellow Bursars - asking for and offering insights into the functioning of the Bursar's Office. This is not solely a lecture but an organized discussion among all the participants. Even an experienced Bursar might pick up a 'nugget' or two.

The Basics of Student Financial Services
