CEC Roll-Over Policy

If you exceed CEC requirements, extra CECs will roll over at renewal and be applied to the next year’s membership term. For one-year membership renewals, extra CECs that rollover will be valid for 2 (two) years from your CEC completion date. For two-year membership renewals, extra CECs that rollover will be valid for 3 (three) years from your CEC completion date.

CEC Due Date

​All CECs will be due at the time of membership renewal. If a member carries a credential earned through the NANP, the additional CECs required to maintain that credential will be due at the time of membership renewal, despite having a different re-credential date.

Example for a Board Certified Member:

  • If the membership renewal date is August 31; ten (10) CECs are due
  • If the Board Certification renewal date is November 30; an additional five (5) CECs are due.
  • All fifteen (15) CECs are due on August 31 each year
