How are CEUs verified?
Two forms are used throughout the conference: 1) Individual Session Evaluation Forms given at each session and 2) Attendance Verification Form included in the program book. Both forms are stamped at the end of each session. Attendees submit all forms at the end of the conference. Attendees keep the Attendee portion of the Attendance Verification Form for their records. An official Certificate of Completion is mailed within three weeks of the end of the conference. The certificate will document the number of CEUs earned for each of the designations the attendee has requested.
