CEU Approvers update.
Thanks to
John LaRue and Lynn Anderson for volunteering to be new approvers. We can still use a few more people to lighten their load...
Are you CTRS and/or CPRP certified? Are you familiar with the educational needs and learning outcomes desired that qualify educational sessions with credit towards certification? If so, NYSRPS would love for you to review abstracts submitted for CEUs. This strict approval process helps ensure our professionals receive proper administration of their CEUs so they may confidently re-certify when it comes time. Training will be provided.
