I just attended our First Quarter Board Meeting in March in Baltimore.   IHMM has been very active.  Let me highlight two activities that might be of interest of certificates:

• Did you know that with MyIHMM database, you can start an application on-line at any time for a new certification or recertification?  If you start your application for recertification now, you can enter your activities for recertification in real time, as they occur. (You also want to save the underlying documentation in the event you are chosen for an audit.) That way, much of your application is saved and easily submitted prior to when you credential expires.  No more going back up to 5 years to resurrect documents!
• Did you know that IHMM recently administered a CHMM Exam in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E ?  Several persons passed the exam.  We welcome out new CHMMs from this part of the world and hope to welcome many more in the coming years as our credentials’ reach continues to grow internationally.  This strengthens the value of your credential, worldwide.

Want to know more?   Please read through our latest newsletter.   Want to help out?  Recruit a young professional to become a CHMM or CHMP in training and then sit for the exam.   Need more training in transportation of hazardous materials?  Sit for the CDGT.
