Certifications Extended One Year

​

March 17, 2020

As a result of the National Emergency brought on by the Corona-Virus pandemic and subsequent cancellation of the 2020 NAPWDA National Workshop along with all other NAPWDA sponsored functions for at least the next 60 (sixty) days, an emergency Executive Board meeting was electronically convened. After discussion, it was authorized that all NAPWDA certifications due to expire in 2020 shall be extended for one (1) additional year. This decision will allow time
for this episode in our lives to pass and business to resume as normal.
 

As a reminder, certification validity requires your membership to remain current at all times.

Above all, Stay Safe.

On behalf of the Executive Board,

Richard “Rick” Ashabranner
NAPWDA National President
