  • Recertification Process Improvements

    RECERTIFICATION - WE PAID FOR NEW CERTIFICATES TO BE SENT OUT TO ALL RENEWALS IN ORDER TO STOP SENDING, EVERY YEAR, STICKERS TO BE AFFIXED GM THE CERTIFICATES THAT USED TO CONTAIN "EXPIRATION DATES." INSTEAD, NOW, THERE IS ONE CERTIFICATE, WITH AN UPFRONT COST TO ABO, BUT MUCH LESS EXPENSE GOING FORWARD. WE NOW ISSUE CARDS WITH EXPIRATION DATES AND CLEANED UP THE WALL CERTIFICATES. THAT MEANS THAT ALL 10,000 CURRENT CERTIFICANTS GOT NEW ENGRAVED WALL CERTIFICATES.
