How can a member apply for an exception from the CPD Program?

The process for a member to apply for an exception from the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program requires submitting a completed Membership Status Change form. This form is specifically designed to capture the necessary information and rationale for the request, guiding the membership committee in evaluating the merits of the exception.

Utilizing the Membership Status Change form ensures that all applications are handled consistently and efficiently, allowing for proper documentation and tracking of changes in membership status. This formal approach is standard in professional organizations to maintain an organized and transparent process.

While other options may seem viable in various contexts, they do not provide the structured and official method needed to request exceptions. Contacting the Board of Directors would typically not be the direct method for handling such requests, and attending a special hearing is not a conventional part of the routine application process. Referring to the organization's website, while informative, does not constitute an application method but rather serves as a resource for understanding the guidelines and requirements.
