CPS and CAP holders and approved candidates: Mark your calendars now for the 2006 Certification Seminar. The Marriott Rancho Las Palmas Resort will be the setting for top notch educational sessions, valuable networking opportunities, a special reception for members of The Academy, with the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains in the background.
The Certification Seminar historically awards 12-15 recertification points; CPS and CAP holders are required to recertify by gaining 90 points every five years. For the CPS or CAP holder attending the Certification Seminar every year, that is 60-75 of the required 90 points.
Great speakers are lined up to provide timely and interesting educational sessions. Topics/Sessions will include different approaches to the following: Diversity (age, gender, ethnicity); Project Management (streamlining chaos; de-clutter your life); Integrity (do the right thing in the midst of chaos).
