Our committee has started the year with several new members, ideas, and goals for the benefit of our membership worldwide.
We are currently reviewing the CEU point system, and submitting recommendations to the National Board for additional CEU options for CFD and AIFD® members. These options will allow members to attain their CEU’s through quality educational opportunities in person and virtually. Virtual education will be a continued part of our future, and we are reviewing several possibilities to enhance your educational opportunities.
We are also proposing a written guideline to the National Board for AIFD® designers, and AIFD® Educational Partner Educators. This guideline will direct the submission of educational videos, which may be posted on our AIFD® website in the educational resource center. Our plan is to continue adding videos to our library with new educational materials for members and those pursuing accreditation.
We are working with Ann Jordan AIFD and Hitomi Gilliam AIFD to provide support for the educational program for the 2022 Symposium in Las Vegas. Leopoldo Gomez and Cindy Pham AIFD will be the educational program presenters.
We are always open to new ideas and concepts for future contests, video materials, and educational opportunities for our members, and those pursuing CFD and AIFD accreditation.
