EIM WORKSHOP All clergy, religious, seminarians, employees and adult volunteers serving in a ministry requiring EIM compliance must submit an EIM Application for Ministry (one-time only) and attend an EIM Workshop at least once every three years. Go to www.eappsdb.com/austin to submit a new application or login to your existing account to find the list of workshops and to signup (use Forgot Password if you don't recall ID/password). Contact your parish EIM site administrator ( Donna Perry / 254-526-0202) if a paper EIM application or other assistance with EIM compliance matters is needed.
