The Board of Directors and all committees and task forces, staff at the national office and all related association administrative expenses are also funded by dues income.

These Member Sections afford opportunities to network, learn and share information of general interest to everyone involved in CE/CPD and also to pursue topics of special interest related to a particular CE/CPD environment.
