AADE has announced updates to the process for CBs and LNGs requesting continuing education hours (CE hours) for our programs. The new planning forms are streamlined from the previous “CE Application” process forms. These new planning forms are exclusive to AADE CBs and LNGs and are accessible in the Volunteer Leader Resource Center.
We are encouraging the CBs and LNGs to use these new CE forms. For groups who are already in the midst of planning AADE will accept the previous CE Application forms until July 31, 2016. The new planning forms will be required effective August 1, 2016. Some highlights for the new planning forms include:
- A more streamlined process – with easier forms for planners and presenters to complete.
- No fees! Fees are no longer applicable to CBs and LNGs who submit their programs.
- Programs must be submitted within 45 days of the program date.
Questions? You may contact Charlene Rocha, Continuing Education Specialist at crocha@aadenet.org or call 800-338-3633 ext. 4821.
This is great news for our NYS CB and LNG's to make the process easier and no expense. Let me know what you think when you start to use it.
Thank you for all you do,
