Conference Theme
Notarizing with Purpose: Compliance, Community, and Confidence
Every notarization serves a purpose.
A notarization may protect a family, support a business, complete an important transaction, or help an individual execute a critical legal document.
This conference will focus on three essential areas of professional notarial service:
Compliance — Understanding and following Connecticut notary laws, procedures, and ethical standards.
Community — Recognizing notaries as trusted and accessible public-service professionals.
Confidence — Building the knowledge and practical skills needed to perform notarial acts correctly and professionally.
