Luanne M Johnson, CDOA, CPLTA 2020 NADOA President

Wow! It is hard to believe another decade is upon us. This last decade had many changes in our industry and we can only image what the next decade will bring.

We’ve had our first board meeting for the year in January. During this meeting Jason Lucas, our Past President, informed us that he would not be able to continue to work on the NADOA board this year. So, as a board we voted to bring in Liz Fajen to sit in his spot as board advisor. We think Liz is someone we can all learn from and who will help us grow as a board. We hate to see Jason go, but we are excited to see what Liz will bring to the board. We hope that you will be able to attend Institute September 23 – 25 in Shreveport, Louisiana! We feel this will be affordable and educational for everyone. Our Institute committee started working last year on getting some great speakers for our Institute and we look forward to getting that schedule out to you soon. The committee members also met recently and have begun planning. This Institute is one you will not want to miss with the great education and the networking events we are planning. Our hotel rate is just $139 per night and we will be running an early bird special for registration again this year; if you register before May 31 the registration fee will be just $525 for members. After that date the price will go up to $600. So, you will want to register soon!

I look forward to being your President this year!

As you are aware, the Certification Committee began upgrading the Self-Service system last year to improve the functionality of the site. We are working through the upgrade, and hope to have it completed by the end of this year. These changes should not affect the CDOA point submissions, but should you discover any bugs, please contact me immediately: [email protected]. As a reminder, Recertification Credits must be added within 60 days of event attendance. Failure to timely enter the credits may result in forfeiture of those points. Employment Points may be requested during the 90 days following the anniversary of the CDOA’s individual certification year. If you have a January 1 effective date, you have from January 1 until March 31 to request employment points. If you have a July 1 effective date, you have from July 1 until September 30 to request employment points. Please do not request employment points in July if you have a January effective date and vice versa. Lastly, the Committee is revising the Certification Review Manual and CDOA Exam. These improvements include 1) removing California from the Manual and Exam, 2) augmenting Section II of the exam to comprehensively test Division Order calculations, and 3) removing/revising confusing questions. The goal is to present these proposed changes to the Board by the end of 2020 for implementation in 2021. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding such changes, please do not hesitate to contact me with your thoughts.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as the 2020 Certification Committee Chairman.
