Ready to Host (part of the Ready to Respond webinar series)

Thinking about hosting a Ready to Respond training event this October, but not sure where to start—or how to make it truly impactful? This session is designed to help set you up for success. Join experienced hosts from last year’s Ready to Respond: Sudden Cardiac Arrest Training Initiative as they share real-world insights from planning and leading hands-only CPR and AED training events. Panelists will discuss what worked well, lessons learned, and the practical strategies that helped them engage participants, coordinate logistics, and create meaningful, confidence-building learning experiences. Whether you’re planning a school-based training, workplace session, or community event, this webinar will provide practical guidance on building local participation, collaborating with community partners, promoting your event, and ensuring attendees leave prepared to respond in an emergency. By the end of the session, participants will have a clearer roadmap for hosting a successful Ready to Respond event—and the confidence to bring lifesaving skills and awareness to their own communities. Panelists include: -Alexandria Chiaberta, Univ. Pittsburgh Center for Cardiac Arrest Survival -Jeanette Brewster, 621 Foundation -Darryl Conway, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation -Amy Vollman, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation - Oregon Chapter
