There is an interview with Rick Langdon in Appraisal Buzz. Or you could just meet with him and ask him.

Buzz: What else do I need to know?

Rick: These sessions are purely to be considered training sessions and an opportunity to learn what we see as general areas of deficiencies. They will not be approved for credit hours

Yup,
Nothing about building a panel,
and free does not count for CE either.

Banks and other financial institutions with 50 or more employees are required to have an Affirmative Action Plan because they are deemed to be a "Federal Contractor" under the law by virtue of holding treasury tax or loan accounts, handling saving bonds, and acting as government depositories.

For federal contractors and subcontractors, affirmative action must be taken by covered employers to recruit and advance qualified minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and covered veterans. Affirmative actions include training programs, outreach efforts, and other positive steps. These procedures should be incorporated into the company’s written personnel policies. Employers with written affirmative action programs must implement them, keep them on file and update them annually.

Might a $700 fee impact the diversity of potential applicants as subcontractors, to a federal contractor?

Hummmmmmmmm
