SILA Digest Service Details

What is the SILA Digest Service?

Since 1997, SILA has provided conference attendees with the SILA Digest publication, a reference tool that includes state responses to popular licensing and education topics in a spreadsheet format.  Because state requirements change often, SILA, through its partnership with RegEd, will keep the contents of the SILA Digest current and subscribers can benefit from regulatory updates to these licensing and education topics throughout the year.  The subscription service of providing these updates is what we are calling the SILA Digest Service.

Will we still continue to receive the SILA Digest publication at the conference?

Yes, the SILA Digest publication will still be provided to conference attendees as part of the conference registration fee.  SILA will set up access to the SILA Digest for all registered attendees prior to the conference.

How will the SILA Digest Service updates be provided?

SILA will offer the SILA Digest Service updates to subscribers from SILA’s website. An email notification will be provided to subscribers notifying them when updated information has been posted, and the subscribers can log on to retrieve a summary of what regulatory changes occurred and obtain a copy of the updated documents.

How often will the SILA Digest topics be updated?

The topics will be updated on a monthly basis or sooner for any change discovered that has a major impact to the subscribers.
