<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alan Barnard said: "<FONT face="Times =

size=3>I notice every month in the journal there are many more "new =

be almost the same, discounting only non-tuning members. I have my =

There were quite a few who took exams in Kansas City, but are not now =
RPT's. Are

Some regions have pretty good accomodation for people who want to take =
exams.
Others, it seems, have very limited numbers of opportunities--few CTEs =
and TECs,
few willing mentors, perhaps, or people willing to set up and run
exams.<BR><BR>I don't want to make it "easy" to become an RPT, but if =

forever. I've been of the same mind in this regard. I wish there =
were a way
to "motivate" RPTs to get more involved with the "process". =
Personally, I
mentor as much as is possible. But, I'm just one RPT, can't =
do 'em

Perhaps
some kind of incentive program for those who mentor?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
