Recertification Comments	General Comments
National-consolidate certifications. Keep testing standards high so certs mean something. I have not added certifications since becoming a section member.	Compared to other sections I have been in, RI has maintained a higher level of participation and quality of services.
Publish list of certified individuals by area so that recruiters & HR professionals can use as resource for filling relevant positions.
Obtaining RU by taking refresher is impossible, classes don't run
Reduce the CUs or improve the opportunities to earn CUs.	Improve the method for local nominations & elections. I believe my section is deficient in motivating people & I feel it's become a self serving organization.
It is not easy to find the online registration section.	Great job, the instructors I've had the pleasure of working with, have been great.
local involvement of members in group activities and sponsership of events
	It would be helpful to me to see a seminar or course offered for the biopharma industry.
	Have not been to a section meeting in quite some time but enjoyed the ones I did make.
	In speaking with other associates about the other area sections, RIASQ if afr superior in every aspect. Keep up the good work and I wish I had the time to attend the dinner meetings.
None
No improvement is necessary. The local section is very efficient and timely.
Satisfied, really nothing to offer there
	This section should serve as a model for other sections. I am very pleased with the level of participation and enthusiam shown by the group.
	MY INCOMPLETE ANSWERS DO NOT APPLY OR I HAVE NOT USED.
Accept electronic submissions (pdf, word documents, etc) and complete the process online (paperlessly).
Eliminate re-certification after 9 years (3cycles)	I would like to see the results of the survey in the next newsletter.
Develop process for re-certification on-line.
more real time examples
National should create an online submission process; realize that it's not up to the RIASQ	Overall I am very satisfied with the RIASQ
	Always available to help out of needed?
Seems to work fine. Not sure if it is available but scanning documents and using elctronic media would be nice.
National level made the same mistake several times and had very bad customer service. Local level support was outstanding!
Gather and distribute more info about how certification has benefited members in their jobs	Other than the back of the dinner meeting announcements, there is virtually no promotion for educational courses offered. As a result, few courses offered actually run.
	Im not in a position to rate item 8 due to lack of first hand experience.
Email notification of accept/not accept application immediately after review of submission documents. I didn't know until I received my new cert in the mail 6 weeks later.
	Notification of receipt of mailed course registration would be very helpful.
Electronic recertification process	Thanks for doing a great job
provide a short recert how-to for people recertifying first time	New job is making meeting attendance more difficult. It would help if space could be made available for non-dinner presentation only attendees at the meetings.
