Maintaining the Credentials...

Once an individual meets the requirements to earn a credential, they hold those initials after their name in pride, having earned the respect and recognition that goes along with the title. Such as in a Ph.D., RN, etc., NCCAP now will have a retirement status for those individuals no longer working in the field of activities. Based on a recommendation from Phyl Gordon, ACC, the NCCAP Board of Directors voted to approve a retirement status. This would only be for those individuals that earned the credential, but are no longer working in the field of activities. Upon their renewal, (application, lesser renewal fee, information update) they would also indicate their intent in writing and sign acknowledgement of the status, and then would maintain their credentials after their name, with an indication of the retirement status.

Example:
Jane Smith, ACC/R*
(* = retired). NN
