If you do not pick up your certificate after the class you will not receive credit for attending. For attendees who must leave early for emergency situations, a determination will be made by the Professional Development Committee of the Executive Board as to the nature of the emergency and whether a sufficient portion of the course was covered to warrant certification credit. *Any member whose certification expires must attain their original certification again.
