13th or 14th OK for me, but not the 16th. Will be in Boston, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Massachusetts Paralegal Association. I was the founder - the first President, Vice President, Clerk and Registered Agent. My, how time flies...

We should have a quick WTP meeting about this to make sure we communicate this ahead of time with folks that are WTP's. Likely some have forgotten... I remember suspending it and hadn't given it much thought since then.
My thought is we have an initial communication with folks and then a renewal in January.
Just my .02.
Can we schedule something 13th, 14th or 16th ?

Subject: RE: Washington Title Professional Recertification
Dwight, thanks for reminding about the renewal requirement, put on hold because of the covid impact on seminar availability.
Maureen, I can convert this to a PDF fillable form.
FYI, I've logged all attendance for all WTPs and those who are interested in obtaining the designation, so that information is available. The list is attached. As you can see, there are 375 names on the list.
Also, Paul Hofmann is the current chair, so I've also copied him, and the Committee (so he'll and others will see this twice), with this message.
The WTP Committee should meet and discuss this - how to implement and document the continuing education/renewal process - as well as the possibility that availability of our WLTA seminar offerings may be significantly impacted by (1) the recently imposed taxation of seminar registration income, and the (2) cost and practicality of live events, given recent downturn in attendance of rising costs. (The Education Committee has been discussing those issues.) The current Continuing Education requirements may need to be re-visited for newer WTPs.
The WTP Committee members are:
WTP
Paul Hofmann, WTP (Chair)
Ashley Callahan
Jim Blair
Chris Rollins, WTP
Craig Trummel, WTP
Dan MacMillan, WTP
Dwight Bickel, WTP
Gale Hickok
Gary Kissling
Gerry Guerin, WTP
JP Kissling, WTP
Megan Powell, WTP
Maureen Pfaff, WTP
George Peters, WTP
Sean Holland, WTP
[NOTE: if any on this list do not want to remain on the committee, let me know.]
Sean is also out of the country for bit longer and so the Committee should meet after his return.

All,
I've attached a proposed Renewal Application. Please let me know if you approve or if edits are needed. I left in the option to receive credit for Presentations done at WLTA seminars.
I don't know how to turn this Word doc into a fillable pdf so perhaps one of you can handle that part once the form itself is approved.
Best,
Maureen

I request WLTA, and the subcommittee for WTP, to complete its task to implement the recertification process intended when WTP was implemented.
Section 6: Maintaining the WTP Designation After the WTP designation is attained, every three years a renewal is to be submitted with evidence of 6 additional hours of WLTA Educational seminars and a fee of $25 s to retain the Washington Title Professional designation.<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__washingtonlandtitle.com_-3Fpage-5Fid-3D1421&d=DwMFAg&c=A2I0cd0yeEKQCn3mv-g-KzOAX7YMnpExrKRXrh8neX0&r=1De8o3bHwm9yYFbslBIBD0yrqekDnb7UCbw5Aiv6Afg&m=9SGFX4GXavwH8pKkt8rNW-ivG3G675e_RNj-QA_6dZX0zWQWFH26wc9K0hj-EZEP&s=eAiakoNZ_3rU9NW6sXj53gzZIL42K2qLdrL5GemIeHQ&e=> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__washingtonlandtitle.com_-3Fpage-5Fid-3D1421&d=DwMFAg&c=A2I0cd0yeEKQCn3mv-g-KzOAX7YMnpExrKRXrh8neX0&r=1De8o3bHwm9yYFbslBIBD0yrqekDnb7UCbw5Aiv6Afg&m=9SGFX4GXavwH8pKkt8rNW-ivG3G675e_RNj-QA_6dZX0zWQWFH26wc9K0hj-EZEP&s=eAiakoNZ_3rU9NW6sXj53gzZIL42K2qLdrL5GemIeHQ&e=>
I have complied with the requirements, except for the request and sending $25, and should be entitled to be recertified. It's just a procedural formality, but the subcommittee did require that process, so what can I do to obtain that recertification?
