    Closing Notes

    John Rickert — President CWQA 2008-2009

NOTE: * annotation qualifies for 0.1 CEU's (Continuing Education Units)

** qualifies for 0.2 CEU's per session towards WQA certification or re-certification.

Friday morning's WQA Certification Exam Review*** session earns 0.4 CEU's towards WQA certification or re-certification. That adds up to 1.1 CEU's for the weekend. Although our conference is in the beginning of October, CEU points will be honored by WQA for the cycle period ending September 30th. For attendees that still need more CEU's to maintain certified with the WQA, go to http://training.wqa.org/2009edkitqz/index.htm to take quizzes from the WQA 2009 Educational Kit. The study guide is at this address as well in case mailed WQA copy is lost.

Depending on your certification level, you have to earn between 2.0 and 3.0 CEU's over a three year period from the date of your original certification.

Please use the forms on this site to make your CWQA Conference Registration as soon as possible. Also do not forget to make your Hotel Registration at the same time. The hotel imposes a "late fee" for registrations past their deadline. If you want to take some tests for WQA certification, pre-pay the WQA directly, order books and/or tapes early so you have ample study time.

Thank you in advance for making a commitment to attend YOUR yearly Colorado Water Quality Association Conference and making it a success. We look forward sharing ideas and knowledge with you at this upcoming conference and all the future ones!
