IS IT TIME TO RENEW YOUR MCOA CERTIFICATION?


Those Directors and Program Managers certified by MCOA in the fall of 2006 or earlier must apply for renewal of their certification by June 2011.   In order to renew, Directors must have accumulated 75 CECs between 2006 and June 2011.   Program Managers must have accumulated 50 CECs during the same time period.   You may submit CECs as you go to Pat Roberts, Marblehead COA, or all at once with your request for renewal.   If you need more information about CECs, go to www.mcoaonline.com, and click on Staff Certification on the left.   Click on FY10 MCOA Recertification Standards.

You must request renewal of your certification, in writing, to MCOA, 116 Pleasant St, Suite 306, Easthampton MA 01027-2781.   Your letter should indicate that you are currently employed as a COA Director (or Program manager) and where.   A check of $50 must accompany your request.

Those certified after the fall of 2006, will need renewal of their certification five years following their initial certification (example, certification in 2007, renewal is due in 2012).
