CEUs

Representatives from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture will be on hand to provide re-certification forms at the end of each day.

Reciprocal re-certification credits have been requested from those states that typically participate in the reciprocity program with Kentucky, and we anticipate a positive response from each of them. To make sure that you receive the proper recertification from each of the states, please bring the necessary documentation (i.e., certification number, license number, social security number, and current mailing address) with you to receive the proper CEU credit.

We will also offer ISA Credits for Arborists.

Make sure you sign the forms provided at the end of each day as requied by each state for those states that you require CEUs.  Not all states require you to sign in each day, so be sure to check which days you need to sign in for your chosen CEUs.  Some states have a new way to get your credits that requires you to scan a QR code and fill in the information, which usually has to be done before a specific date and time.  

Calendar of Events

We look forward to seeing each of you at the Association Meeting in March!
