				receive a recertification credit for each hour of instruction provided in the
				presentation of a course in the prescribed education program, or in conjunction
				with other assessment or appraisal courses as approved by the Committee, up to
				a maximum of thirty (30) hours per course.

				Officers, Inc., the titles and sponsors of all such course(s) or workshop(s)
				that have, in the previous year, been approved as satisfying the continuing
				education requirements pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. Said list
				shall also be provided to the Secretary.
(c) A person having a CCMA I or CCMA II
				designation may make written application to the Committee requesting approval
				of any course(s) or workshop(s) not included in the list published pursuant to
				subsection (b) of this section. Such application shall be accompanied by any
				related documentation the Committee may require. At the next regularly
				scheduled meeting following receipt of such application, the Committee shall
				consider the applicant's request.

				applicant's request for approval of such course(s) or workshop(s). Each
				applicant whose request is approved shall be sent written notification of such
				approval by the Committee chair, within one (1) week of the adjournment of said
				meeting. If a request is denied, the Committee chair shall send written
				notification of such denial to the applicant, within two (2) days of the

				of said denial.

				aggrieved by the Committee under subsection (d) of this section, may file a

				workshop(s) should be approved, shall be sent by courier service to the
				Committee chair within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the notice of
				denial. The Committee shall meet for the purpose of reconsidering its decision,
				within thirty days after receiving such request.
(f) The Committee may require the appellant
				to appear at such meeting, to answer any pertinent questions or to supply any
				additional information that may be required, provided he or she shall be given
				not less than forty-eight (48) hours notice of the requirement to appear. The
				Committee's decision with regard to any such reconsideration shall be final.
				The Committee chair shall promptly notify the appellant of such decision in
