4 CPE For questions about CPE certificates for Chapter programs or to report speaking engagements or other service to the profession in which you have participated, please contact Barry Weybright at or at (260) Please note that CPE certificates will now be distributed on a quarterly basis. If there is a need for your certificate sooner, contact Barry directly and he will be happy to accommodate you. NEWS YOU CAN USE CPE REPORTING DEADLINE - MAY 31, 2011 As of January 2011, IIA-certified candidates seeking to report their continuing professional education (CPE) credits will be able to do so in the Certification Candidate Management System (CCMS), rather than on The IIA's website. Reporting CPE credits biennially is a simple step that helps professionals maintain use of their designation. The CPE reporting deadline is determined by an individual's IIA membership or customer ID number. IIA certified professionals whose membership or customer ID number ends with an even number (e.g., 00002) should report their CPE credits in even-numbered years (i.e., 2010, 2012, etc.). Those with oddnumbered IIA membership or customer ID numbers (e.g., 00001) should report in odd-numbered years (i.e., 2011, 2013). The reporting deadline for the prior two years is May 31 of the reporting year (e.g., candidates reporting in 2011 will report on credits earned during ). IIA-certified professionals who fail to meet their CPE requirements by the reporting deadline automatically will be placed in an inactive status and may not use their designation. Members of The IIA can report their CPE credits free of charge. In January 2011, the processing fee for nonmembers will increase to US $100 for each certification. For additional information, such as CPE requirements for IIA certifications, CPE reporting in CCMS, and a list of CPE opportunities, visit IIA WEBSITE The IIA is embarking on the implementation of a new Microsoft SharePoint technology platform that will enable them to create a more robust and user friendly IIA website. As the project team is in their final stages, your Chapter leadership completed a survey and evaluated the look and feel of three design options. We are looking forward to the launching of a more user friendly redesigned website. 4
