I  realized that for 2012 the early date for paperwork submission is the 
end of  Febuary or you can pay an additional fee and submit by the end of July 
 deadline. In reviewing the deadlines, it looks like the this is the first 
year  with the earlier submission dates. Does anyone else see the problem 
here?  Because of the change, the only way to use the 2012 ILCA conference 
CERPS is  to miss the early bird deadline and pay more money on top of the what 
I  considere high conference fees. 

Hi Dawn,

I renewed last year by CERPS and used the early deadline, in February,  so 
I think it may be newish, but perhaps not new this year. As you say, for  
people relying on the year's ILCA conference to get all their CERPS, yes it is 
a  major disadvantage. Since I am lucky enough to live where my local 
chapters of  ILCA and LLL, combined with online things,  provide many 
opportunities, I had the CERPS needed. I realize  this is not true for everyone. 
Ironically, it is probably cheaper to not take  continuing ed and just take the 
exam every 5 years. ( Just be taught to the  test, and not necessarily learn 
about all the new and nuanced information that  no test can cover.) I've 
always found this annoying. I am seriously thinking of  not recertifying at the 
20 year mark for this reason. 
 
Peace,
Judy
