This morning I sent the updated and correct Certified Memebers List to Steve to update and correct the directory here and on the .org site.
It is quite amazing, and sad, that so many members are going to be deleted from these directories due to not renewing or re-certifing. All the effort and time they spent becoming certifyed and the benefits they have enjoyed being listed in the directory, and now they let them slip away.
There is still time to pay your fees and become listed in the directories. More importantly, NOW is the time for anybody that is not certified to step up and get certified to take your business to the next level.
There will be a big push to get the .org site out in public view quickly. HO's will be looking for certified cleaners in their area. Will you be listed? How important will that listing be? When the update is completed, there will be, at present, ONLY 31 Certified Members in the ENTIRE U.S in the directories. How much business could you develop from being certified and listed?? Is that worth the small fee to become certified? Think about it and take action!!
Looking at your join date, I would guess that you were certified prior to 4-1-11. If so you are required to re-certify. The fee is $150.00. , one time fee. You will attend 2 webinars and take an online test. The premium member fee is an annual fee.
I am totally confused?? So we are just guessing as to what I need to do?? I paid $150 and took the tests allready?? I was like the 2nd or 3rd guy. Is there an annual fee now that is due??
I don't keep everybodys info right here in front of me, so yes it was a guess to answer your question quickly. Your premium member fee will be due in April this year and every year. Your re-cert fee is paid, so forget about it.
