Brown Bag Webinars are a way to bring short, relevant statewide trainings about program and volunteer management to coordinators throughout the year. Brown Bag Webinars are an easy way to get a new coordinator up to speed, share advanced techniques or ideas with veteran coordinators, and communicate programmatic changes as they come down the pipeline.

Brown Bag Webinars are open to anyone who helps with management of the UC Master Food Preserver Program. Feel free to share webinar links with volunteer leaders, office managers, advisors, or staff.
