<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon, WTP Committee. Kevin Howes, a WTP who is currently employed by a realtor, has requested the password to the Examiners Manual. The manual is available to employees of WLTA members. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="mso-ligatures:none"><img border="0" width="550" height="60" style="width:5.7291in;height:.625in" id="_x0000_i1027" src="cid:image004.png@01DCB2CD.18D256B0"></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Access to the manual is a benefit that imposes no incremental cost on the WLTA. If we permit access to the Examiners Manual to WTPs who are currently working outside the industry, I don’t expect that we would ever have more than a handful
of folks taking advantage of it. If someone has gone to the trouble and expense of keeping their WTP active, I feel like giving them access to the manual is the least we can do for them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recommend that the committee approve providing access to the Examiners Manual to any current WTP regardless of employment status. Please let me know how you feel about providing access, or if you feel this is a matter that should be
decided on by the board.<o:p></o:p></p>
