Why are there banner ads on your site?
- The chapter believes that the minimal intrusion of ads is a low price to pay for
the free hosting of their website. In addition, the site host, Tripod, has easy tools for
the novice web builder to add, delete, and update content on the website.
What is the chapter's policy/procedure to insure website information is routinely
updated?
- Usually the task falls to the Communication & Website Chairperson so as to maintain
a consistent feel and look on the website. This person is also integrally involved with all facets of the chapter activities.
Information from the various officers and chairs is shared or funnelled to the website chair for inclusion on the website.
Why do I receive 3 invoices for the Local Chapter, Academy, and Institute
dues each year?
- Each of these groups has a role in helping maintain and improve the value of your
CHMM certification. Currently a pilot program is underway to combine all dues into one invoice.
What benefits are there to joining the local GA ACHMM chapter?
If you are a CHMM, or working toward your CHMM credential, some benefits include:
Networking with fellow CHMMs
Professional development via our guest speakers
Earning certification maintenance points
Ability to take a leadership role as a chapter officer or chairperson
Why is recertification of my credential important?
As stated by the IHMM, the recertification program ensures that CHMMs maintain the highest professional standards
and enhance their continued competence. The recertification process is mandatory to maintain the CHMM certification.
What's required to maintain my CHMM credential, i.e. recertification?
The program requires that CHMMs participate in professional development activities
and submit evidence of these activities on a periodic basis. Certification Maintenance Points, CMPs, can be earned through
such things as:
- Active professional practice
- Attendance at more than 50% of local ACHMM chapter meetings
- Service as an officer or chairperson in a local ACHMM chapter
- Participation in relevant continuing education and refresher courses
Note that beginning in 1998 and for all subsequent years, at least 1.25 CMPs must
be earned annually in any combination of professional development activities falling into:
- College and university credit courses
- Professional development conferences and seminars
- Continuing education and refresher courses
Since the Institute is responsible for setting these requirements, please visit their
website for specific details, www.ihmm.org.
