The question of qualifications and continuing education has certainly brought out lots of comments. But another consideration is the reverse effect it might have on PTG membership numbers. I suspect there are more than a few RPT's and associates who are on the fence as to staying involved with our group, for many reasons: Part-timers, those nearing retirement, finances, marginal interest, distance to chapters, etc. etc. Could the mandatory education requirement push these folks into dropping their membership? Maybe in time, they would anyway and it would separate the wheat from the chaff. Do you make it a perequisite to membership or voluntary? Perhaps it could be structured in a way that would incentivize (is that a word?) the program in more ways.
