NCCAP
Board Extends ADC Track 5 Deadline...
Due
to the overwhelming response to the temporary ADC Track
5 window of opportunity and as a response to the numerous
requests from the various state/activity association
representatives requesting a short extension to allow
for the varied state conferences etc. to assist their
members in meeting the final requirements for this track,
and after much discussion, the NCCAP Board voted to
extend the temporary window of opportunity for ADC Track

NCCAP
opened up the "window of opportunity" for
individuals that completed a basic activity course of

instructors was implemented), but that have the established
experience, demonstrating their commitment and dedication
to the field of activities, and have ongoing continuing
education to effectively implement their job responsibilities
and duties, and an opportunity to apply for certification
as a director.
