The certification maintenance points can be obtained in a number of ways, and you must submit your request within 6 months of completing an event (seminar, class, project, giving a speech). CMPs are maintained in a database and i know up to the minute of my certification status. collecting and submitting 5 years worth of information is a pain, but I refuse to submit to another exam -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA Richmond, Va A posting from the Archives & Archivists LISTSERV List sponsored by the Society of American Archivists, www.archivists.org.
