Council members may serve two consecutive two-year terms in a given seat and, at the end of their second term, may apply to fill a different open seat if qualified for it. Application materials are reviewed by the Certification Management Committee, which serves as the Nominating Committee of the Certification Council. The roster of individuals selected by the Certification Management Committee to fill the open seats is presented to IEA’s Executive Committee for approval. The Consumer Interest seat on the Certification Council is still vacant. Qualifications for the Consumer Interest seat include a high school diploma or GED and two years as an active member or employee of a consumer advocacy organization. Anyone interested in providing governance and oversight of NRPP’s certification programs and meet the qualifications for either open seat may apply by completing this form and attaching their resume or a short bio. JTA Survey NRPP is developing a new certification program for individuals who mitigate radon in large, commercial buildings. If you perform this work, have ever performed this work, or supervise people performing this work we would like to hear from you. The survey asks about the work you do when mitigating radon in large, commercial buildings and asks that you rate a number of job tasks. It also asks for your input on certification prerequisites and recertification activities. NRPP will use the results of the survey to create the new certification program. This is an opportunity for you to define the role of the commercial radon mitigation specialist and establish certification requirements for the profession. Here is the link to the Commercial Radon Mitigation Specialist JTA Survey. It takes 15 minutes to complete and if you are NRPP certified, you can claim 1 CE toward any certification for completing the survey. NRPP is also revalidating the Radon Measurement Professional (RMP) certification program and the Radon Mitigation Specialist certification program. We do this every 5 years to ensure that the RMP and RMS certification requirements and examination content accurately assess job-related knowledge and skills that certified professionals need to measure or mitigate radon effectively. If your work involves measuring radon in single-family residences, or supervising others measuring radon in single- family residences, please complete the survey and tell us about your job. The survey also asks for your input on certification prerequisites and recertification activities. The results of the survey will be used to modify current certification requirements, if necessary.
