Hello Chapter 74,
We are cruising into February 2016 and have a lot going on in IRWA. Look into the education offerings provided locally this year so you can plan your continuing education credits & courses toward your certifications. In addition, we have the annual Region 2 Spring Forum in Cancun, Mexico March 11, 2016 with courses being offered that week as well. Mexico is now a member of Region 2 and courses will be offered convenient to their right of way professionals and anyone else from the region that would like to par-ticipate a few days prior to the annual spring business meeting. Please RSVP with Houseman & Associates if you plan on participating. We are trying to make sure our newsletters keep you up to date with all the information you need to stay in the loop with our local, regional, and international activities. Come join us for the February 9th, 2016 chapter lunch at Fork & Vine on Anderson Lane. Our Programs Committee is working hard to give us alternative locations and meal plans. I’ll see you there.

IRWA Credentialing
The IRWA website Credentialing Section has a new look. Members can choose between two tabs: Specialty and Industry. The Specialty tab will lead to the Specialty certifications like NAC, RAC, URAC, AC and AMC. The Industry tab will lead to RWA, RWP and SR/WA designations. A member will choose their industry in Oil & Gas, Transportation or Electric/Utilities. If a member isn’t working in a specific industry, the fourth choice “industry generalist” would be appropriate.
Requirements for RWA, RWP and SR/WA designations are shown under three tabs: Learn, Qualify and Certify. These three tabs will take you directly to the information that you need. “Learn” will show the list of classes that are required. “Qualify” will show the work experience needed. “Certify” will provide the forms needed to complete the certi-fication. Candidacy is no longer required for the RWA, RWP or SR/WA.
The number of education hours for RWA, RWP and SR/WA stayed the same, however specific courses are required for each industry as well as the industry generalist. This will result in a member who earns a SR/WA in the Oil & Gas Industry will have slightly differ-ent classes than the SR/WA in the Transportation Industry.
There were no new certifications this month for Chapter 74.
