State Representatives Update
by LeNora Hughes, ACC
NCCAP Board
Just
recently, I mailed a let-ter to our State Representatives,
asking for their response on the committee and for input
on their interest level in continuing on the committee.
If
you did not hear from me, and you are on the committee,
please let me know as soon as possible. Below is some
information I need from our Committee members:
·Do you still have the notebook that contains
all the neces-sary materials on NCCAP certification?
If so, please review it and, if you have any changes
in address, job, or names PLEASE let me know.
·
Do you have access to email? I'd like to have your
address. Please email me at studes@home.com
so I can put your email address in my files.
Current
information will be sent out in late November, including
new NCCAP Stand-ards, letterhead, envelopes, and a copy-ready
logo for advertising NCCAP in your local chapter and
state organization newsletter. In reviewing the current
list of State Representatives, I noted NCCAP is not
represented in the following states:
·
Montana
· North and South Dakota
· Utah
If
you know anyone interested in being part of the NCCAP
team in those areas let me know, or have them call me.
If I am mistaken, and those states do in fact have State
Reps, I need to know that too!
The
following is current information on the duties of a
State Representative, and the qualifications necessary
to represent your state.
