Continuing Education
 

Continuing education is a good thing, however the administration of this requirement is a joke. I have seen many thing during my professional career but this thing is wrong. By the very nature of our business we are forced to keep up with current trends in the industry. Making Architect and Engineers document what they already do is a waste of our valuable time. I have seen the waste in the 1 hour lunch seminars put on by product reps and the 3 hour seminars which only recap wht we already know. Continuing Education is an ongoing professional responsibility which we take on gladly because it is generally tied to our ability to attract clients and thus make our business thrive. SO NO to Continuing Education.
