At minimum, a sponsoring Accredited Member shall contact the sponsored Candidate annually to check on the sponsored Candidate’s progress (ie required core and other education completions and experience) towards accreditation. In November/December, Sponsors will receive correspondence from the Registrar and Sponsor Checklist to complete and sign with sponsored Candidate(s).

Sponsorship continues regardless of changes to position, place of employment or employment status.

A sponsoring Accredited Member considering retirement shall contact sponsored Candidate to ensure the Candidate is aware of the potential status change and whether the commitment will continue.
