Hello Fellow MLP members !
I hope the summer has treated you all well , despite the ups and downs of challenging weather we ’ ve all been experiencing ..
The MCLP committee held a successful exam in August . Congratulations to our newest MCLPs . Our next exam is scheduled for Friday , November 5 , 2021 . In advance of that exam , the committee is undertaking its annual tasks of updating and reviewing exam questions and images . We always strive to keep the exam up to date and relevant .
A gentle reminder that if you have let your MCLP certification lapse , particularly following this pandemic year , it is NOT too late to recertify . You can contact the MLP office for information on submitting your credits or if you have any concerns at all . Don ’ t let the time and effort you ’ ve put into earning this valuable credential go to waste !
Finally , we are always looking to add volunteers to the committee . We appreciate fresh perspectives and views from a wide range of industry professionals . Please reach out to the MLP office if you ’ re interested in getting involved .
Here ’ s to a healthy and productive fall season !
