Special Message from Jim Estepp, Chairman


 

National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications

To Pro-Board Accredited Agencies

At its recent Annual Board meeting, the Board of Directors voted to reduce the $7.50 fee to $6.50 for those Agencies that electronically process all of their certificates for Pro-Board certification into the National Registry. The new reduced rate will be effective July 1, 2005.    The $10.00 and $15.00 fee plans which require individual processing are not affected by this decision.

 

In making this decision, the Board is recognizing the reduced cost of electronic processing it has experienced recently.  “Returning cost savings to those agencies which have helped streamline Pro-Board processing and which provide Pro-Board certificates to all of their Agency’s personnel makes good sense” commented Chairman Estepp.... “The Pro-Board continues to look for ways to streamline its processing while maintaining the programs and service expectations of our 40 Accredited Agencies”.

 

As in the past, individuals from the $6.50 fee agencies wanting a personalized Pro-Board certificate can always obtain one at $15.00 each.

 

Thank you for your participation and interest in keeping our first responders trained and ready to meet the challenges they face.

 

Sincerely,

M.H. Jim Estepp

Chairman, NBFSPQ
