Recertification

Your contact hours at CUPA-HR's National Conference and Expo 2008 may be accepted for recertification by other organizations. Be sure to keep appropriate materials, especially a copy of the final program, to document your attendance. A contact-hours sheet will be enclosed in your registration packet for your convenience. Complete and submit it to the association that provided your certification. CUPA-HR does NOT keep a copy. If you have any questions, contact your certifying organization.
