Good Day Everyone:

In 1997 Walter Geier, WIBO's founder, entrusted me to build WIBO's first website to collect registrations online. I created the website and even added some video testimonials to that first website. (Photo of the first WIBO website courtesy of the Wayback Machine).

Today, after almost a year of work from my programming friends, we are excited and happy to announce that WIBO Academy is operational. All cohorts will be using WIBO Academy to attend classes and do their homework. No more Box downloads and uploads, YEAAAAAHHH. Everyone will be required to have a login to participate in the workshop, and Work Group Leaders, Affiliate partners can manage their classrooms.

A BIG THANK YOU to the volunteers that tested the online learning platform earlier this year. Your feedback was valuable in helping design a platform that keeps the integrity of our peer-to-peer learning while adding some excellent programs to improve communications and sharing of information among our cohorts.

Volunteers who have signed up for volunteer discussion slots will get an invitation to register at WIBO Academy. You will have to log in to the website to facilitate your unit.

If you have not volunteered for a Discussion Leader slot, we have openings in all of our cohorts. Would you please sign up at www.signupgenius.com/tabs/6327FD705A6CAEFC06-fallwibo
