End of CM Reporting Period Reminders
• Grace Period: Members have a four-month grace period ending April 30, 2010.
Members who have not fulfilled their requirement by the end of the reporting period (December 31, 2009) should use the grace period to complete their requirements by attending and recording CM-eligible activities.
• Carryover Credit: Members may carry over a maximum of 16 excess CM credits from one reporting period to the next. These cannot include the required law and ethics credits.
For example, a member on the 2008-2009 reporting period earned 30 CM credits prior to the start of the reporting period, then earned an additional 20 CM credits during 2008-2009 for a total of 50 CM credits (including ethics and law). The member has satisfied the 32 CM credit requirement for this reporting period and may carry over a maximum 16 of the excess credits to the 2010-2011 reporting period. The member will begin their 2010-2011 reporting period with 16 credits.
