say that over the past year, the new CDOA website is running like it should and there have been only a few system problems. With workloads and life, we did get behind on some items, but are quickly getting caught up. I’d like to personally thank Lewis, Sherry, Bonnie, Megan, Darryn, and Yoli for the enormous amount of work they’ve done getting the new system up to date and keeping things going. There is a bright light at the end of this tunnel! The committee is currently working on items that will make things easier going forward (once implemented) for CDOAs. Look for an email soon on a CDOA ONLY webinar to learn tips and tricks on using the system. For now, please see the reminders below. • Recertifications: We are still seeing applications coming in and are working through these as quickly as possible. Sonya Turner, with the help of Darryn McGee, has actively been keeping up with and processing these, so please be patient. Stickers should be going out soon.
• CDOA Account Information: Please make sure to visit the CDOA Certification website and update your contact information in this system. Unfortunately, when you update information on the NADOA site, it does not update on the CDOA site. • Credit Requests: Please send all requests for CDOA credits to the certification cdoa@nadoa. org a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the event - the earlier the better. We will be implementing a form to request these credits by the middle of 2024. Look for additional details coming soon. • Pre-approved Credits: Pre-approved credits do not show up until after the event has occurred, and you won’t be able to submit until after the event. If you are attending a Local, NALTA, or AAPL event, these are usually pre-approved. Please don’t create a credit for these events as it causes problems with the system and extra work for the Committee. We ask that you exercise patience as we continue to get caught up and work through any further issues in the system.
