Guidelines for recertification                      <<Download the Recertification Scoresheet>>

In order to retain certified status, members must accumulate a minimum of 100 points in a three-year period from the date of initial certification. It is the responsibility of each member to complete the recertification scoresheet and submit it by December 31st each year.  If a certified member does not submit the recertification scoresheet to indicate the accumulation of the required points, the certified member will be required to rewrite the certification examination and pay the required fee.  It is the responsibility of each member to monitor his/her own recertification points.

• Please submit your scoresheet by December 31st each year to:
