I regret missing this panel session (was facilitating the Ontario Extend session happening at same time) but so enjoyed hearing the recording. We have a lot of fantastic programs, certifications described here, especially in the skills and practice of creating/producing OE and in leadership. My interest is what we can do as suggested by several (or all) here in terms of connecting or creating networks of practice, or leveraging the potential of mentorship @Lena mentioned. I think I will jump this over to the topic @Jennryn started in the Convo and Collab area… > [@Opportunities for collaboration among OE professional development initiatives](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/opportunities-for-collaboration-among-oe-professional-development-initiatives/1436): > > I wanted to share a quick note in follow up to Monday’s keynote panel discussion “Transformation and Empowerment: Open Education Professional Development.” It was an absolute pleasure getting to connect with everyone, and learn more about the different approaches we’re taking to OE professional development. I hope to explore opportunities for staying in touch with any OER professional development initiatives interested. It would be great to intentionally share some of our lessons learned along… Thanks for fitting so much into a one hour panel. --- _[View the full topic](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/keynote-panel-transformation-and-empowerment-open-education-professional-development/484)._
