Ethics & Integrity Workshops - Changes in 2019

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.

Workshop Notes:
1) attendees must pre-register at least 24 hours before workshop start time -  walk-ins are no longer admitted;
2) arrive early -  late arrivals are not admitted; and
3)  do not bring children to the EIM workshop. If you are a victim of sexual abuse and have concerns regarding your attendance at a workshop, contact  Emily Hurlimann at (512) 949-2447 to discuss an alternative workshop arrangement.
