BCEE/BCEEM/BCES Audit
The information for the 2020 Recertification Audit was sent by email to the members selected. If you did not receive one, you are not being audited. If you have any questions, please give Susannah a call at 410-266-3311. The audit is really very simple: you complete the form and submit the documentation; for instance, you receive 24 PDH credits for full-time employment. You can document this by sending a business card or a letter to Susannah on company letterhead. Then, you only need 16 additional PDH hours for a total of 40 hours for the 2-year period.
Membership Corner
If you have not renewed your certification, it is not too late. Please call Susannah at 410-266-3311. If your certification has lapsed 3 or more years, you will need to be reexamined.
Please keep in mind that if you are a Life member, you still have to renew your certification even though you do not pay a fee.
